If using a porta potti, there will be no force behind the water to make the bidet work. In such a circumstance, I would suggest a cleaned dishwashing liquid bottle or other small squeeze bottle.

Right, in Detroit « smells » and « smailes » are pronounced the same. I’ve lost my accent though, and the sounds are distinct. Nice to meet you, Mr. Smailes.

Ice Cream

This is very helpful. I note that there is also fragrance in RV antifreeze. Apparently, one can also buy pure propylene glycol as the food manufacturers do. I will also check if I am affected by...

Oh, no!

OMG! ok, as soon as I get the RV antifreeze, I will take and test in in the p-trap of the basement shower at our house to see if I find the smell tolerable. Thank you very much for posting that.

Thanks, Paul. I definitely saw the pink stuff in the toilet, a lot of it, so that might have been the reason. I am going to go out and buy a bottle to verify that it was the source of the bad...

We went to see a fiberglass RV today and the smell from the toilet was exhausting. It was supposedly brand new but smelled like the sweet chemical smell you referred to. I found the smell was...

I agree, Paul, but I am operating on somewhat of a handicap with this project. I understand that if I buy new, it’s a shame to throw away and waste some brand-new pieces. But with the DIY, see, I...

What can you send for your Scamp install?

This has changed my toilet outlook for the Scamp altogether! We have bidets in the regular house and I had not thought about how I would feel in the Scamp. Excellent! Thank you!

Thanks for good suggestions

It looks like I can use interior lithium battery, change propane tank to fiberglass, move heavy stuff to the back, and maybe take the doir off of the bathroom in order to get below that 200 lb tongue...

Well, I didn't get a chance to buy the used Scamp - before I could get back there, someone else bought it. I think I'll be ordering a brand-new one from the factory.
