When non-campers talk about their aversions to camping, one of the first things they will point to is the lack of plumbing or other solutions for their bathroom needs. In fact, this issue alone is enough to prevent many people from trying out camping in the first place.
Vistabule believes that everyone should have the opportunity to explore the great outdoors in a comfortable way, which is why we’re here to provide you with a guide to teardrop trailer bathrooms that will put your mind at ease and get you out camping.
Do Teardrop Trailers Have Bathrooms?
The easy answer? No. True teardrop trailers, like Vistabule are intentionally small and designed with a focus on a specific set of “camp friendly” amenities. (Although that doesn’t mean they lack luxury!) However, there are a few “teardrops” out on the market that do come equipped with their own facilities. These bigger “teardrops” are shaped similarly, but are significantly larger, include more complicated black water systems and often require a larger towing vehicle.
All that being said, you still have plenty of options in a classic teardrop trailer!
Teardrop Camper Bathroom Alternatives
Don’t worry! Without a bathroom built-in, you still have quite a few options for using the facilities, when you’re out camping or on the road.
You can consistently find bathroom amenities at:
- Most campgrounds
- A gas station
- A truck stop
- A grocery store
If you’re more adventurous, don’t be afraid to use the great outdoors. You are camping after all! Just make sure you follow basic outdoor bathroom etiquette. Need something to wipe with? Bring along a roll of your favorite biodegradable toilet paper to get the job done.
Portable Camping Toilets and Showers
One other option you have is to get a portable camping toilet and/or shower. If you’ve got the space in your vehicle or camper to haul it, and like the added privacy of your own facility, these two pieces of equipment are a good alternative. Camping tech has come a long way, so no need to rough it if you’re more of a glamper!
There are numerous portable toilets, privacy shelters and shower options available. Here at Vistabule, we always consider good design, weight and storage when evaluating products and solutions. Here are are our latest recommendations:
