Our shower is right next to the stool. We keep half a bucket of used dish water or clean water in the shower stall. Use a cool whip container to scoop water to flush with. Never have to turn the water pump on.
I installed a water pump switch just inside the door jamb so the water can be easily turned on and off while in the bathroom. It can be easily reached while sitting or standing.

Used this method back in the day when we were dry camping and motorcycle racing in the So Cal desert. Also gargled with peppermint snaps to get rid of "morning breath"....and didn't have to spit it out!
I was going to say I couldn't believe someone would promote the concept of tossing a lit match on gasoline soaked firewood, but then I realized the Darwin Awards needs a source of nominees.

The things that come to those that wait will be the crappy junk left by those that got there 1st.
Remember; never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
I hope so! My current "problem" is a better way to move the driver's seat forward. Right now, my solution is a cord on the seat lever, which is hardly ideal. It's just a bad design made by Gulf Stream in 2005.
In case you are still reading this thread now that it has been contaminated with chit chat, I have to move the C's seats forward to put up a thermal barrier that I made from reflexic to close off the cab in colder weather. I can see your problem. We lost our awning puller at some campsite and I bought a telescoping one to replace it. I bet that would work better than the cord on your seat release. I might even try it myself!
I want to say thanks to all who have contributed. I've pulled many things over the years from this and similar threads.
Setting for this last weekend's "first time out of the season" I used the kleenex boxes for plastic bag storage (confused my wife, as I neglected to tell her about that).
Also installed a small bungee and metal hook fastened to the exterior door to hold it up out of my way when trying to light or manage the refer. Much nicer.
At our cub scout meeting a couple of weeks back, I had the boys make their own firestarters out of dryer lint and Gulf wax. We go the mini muffin paper cups, stuffed lint in them, stuck a piece of natural twine out of them (read, wick) and poured melted wax on them. I'm happy to report that they worked beautifully this weekend. My son had a sense of contributing when I let him light his own starter for the family to enjoy a nice campfire and round of smore-making. Of course, he's a boy, so anything with fire...well, you know.
Don't know where I got this idea - maybe here, but it was a loooong time ago so I thought I'd bring it up again.
I use a Diaper Genie for used (#1) toilet paper. For a female, that means half as much paper goes into the black tank. When the Diaper Genie dispenser is empty, you just toss the plastic bag in the trash.
I know many people don't have any trouble with their black tanks, but for a family of 4 or more it could make a big difference in tank capacity, especially since kids tend to be generous with the t.p.

That's why I said...stand back......Sometimes a couple of beers were better.....
Apologies for the chitchat!

Please explain how this works, sounds good but I can not envision the how?

A Diaper Genie is meant for used disposable diapers. It's overkill for wads of toilet paper, but it does the job. The dispenser holds plastic bags that are large enough for a used diaper. It sits in the top of the Diaper Genie. When you open the lid on the Diaper Genie it automatically pulls down a fresh bag and holds it open for you. When you close it, it seals the bag and loads the edge of a new one.
It fits in the corner of my bathroom right next to the t.p. holder. Very light weight, doesn't tip over on the road (but wouldn't matter if it did), and serves the purpose well. NO smell at all.

Another and easier way is to put the lint and wax in a paper egg crate then let the wax harden and cut or break apart the crate and you have 12 fire starters and you just light the cardboard corner no wick needed. I shared that in the scouts many times over 20 years. In fact I just made some more on Saturday because only had a few left over that I made before I stepped down in 2000.
