Occupado…

What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?

Don’t believe me? Can you imagine living in our society today, working together, eating together, and subsisting together, without a Toilet? When my husband and I moved into our RV, we did alot of research to make an easier transition into the new lifestyle. Believe it or not, almost all of the websites made mention of how conversations with other RVers always ended up talking about the Throne! In the beginning of our adventure, we thought this was funny, and surely a piece of misinformation.

Wrong! Living in a moving house means that you are never sedentary. Your object is a fully self contained living, eating, sleeping, driving, working, playing, and yes going to the bathroom in house! The RV has no hard connection to any services, including water, electricity, and septic. This means we have to plug in for water and power and we are responsible for the maintainance and emptying of said septic system on a regular basis. There is no margin for error if any number of things go wrong, and they have!

With that in mind, I will not expand any more on my example, but I am sure you get the picture. I will leave it to you, then, to consider your present circumstances, and consider how easy or difficult it would be to remove your only source of bathroom assistance. If you are getting an uncomfortable feeling when you consider life without a toilet, then you will appreciate why I chose this as my luxury.

  1. Yes, I see the problem if you live in a moving home. Believe it or not, our house is very, as it were, grounded, built on solid ground, but we live in a rural setting and we also have a septic tank, as do all our neighbours. We have our septic tank and our treatment plant emptied every year by a company who do nothing much else but empty septic tanks.
    When it rains heavily, said septic tank fill with rainwater so we cannot use the Throne until it has emptied itself a little.

  2. My RV didn’t have a working toilet — or running water for that matter — so I was dependent on using public toilets and showers when I lived in mine. 🙂 Lucky for me, I was living on a college campus, so that made it way easier.
