Had my first van trip for a couple of night with family to make sure I could handle setting up annexed etc. I would love ideas to not have to trek to the loo in the middle of the night

Most CV accessory stores & some camping stores sell "Pee" bottles designed to fit either males or females.

If you can find a space for it, buy a porta-potti. I think mine was about $150. Pennies well spent.

Well our van at 10'6", had to have shower cubical with portaloo and...access door for emptying. Our 13 week quick "lap" was a delight with that convenience.
I believe it is essential.
If we didnt have it I'd rig up a hose to under the van but my wife would have to do the wiggly walk
With an old crook back the hot shower every morning gets me moving.

Best idea yet. Bought a Go Girl and followed instructions trying it at home first. However in the early hours and half asleep, proved a disaster.

all well and good for the blokes. In the pitch black of a van park with not much lighting it's a bit daunting . Found heaps of advice on you tube so there

Gday...
I can understand the predicament ... even as a bloke.
Perhaps you could make use of one of these -
It is what the majority of vanners used in years gone by ... and then, with lid firmly in place, carried it to the amenities block in the morning.
To be honest, I have noticed some of the 'older couples' on my travels who still make use of this handy device.

The method is for No1's but IF your game & a good shot you could try 2's.
Bed to pee area . While half a sleep . Lol
