I have 12' NEO Enclosed Trailer (All aluminum, super light... I love it) with a pretty typical set up, except one addition I rigged up to save me time and stress.

Pretty typical set up... rack system stores all Kombi attachments, Blowers, Hand tools... Front shelf has fuel tanks secured. Only things on the floor are the stander (brand new Scag V-Ride II 48"... still getting used to the operation and controls) a Stihl FS94R string trimmer, and a Honda Commercial trim mower. I can load and unload super fast, and when I'm working alone I have no lag in time spent going from house to house, job to job.

Soooo... speaking of unloading. Take a look at the picture and you'll see something I added to the wall, close to the gate. I added a urinal. Everyone that sees it laughs, and then think its the best thing they've ever seen. I try to park over a storm drain grate if possible. But we all know about having to stop at a gas station, store, or hope to find wooded area on a property perimeter. This has saved me so much time and money over the past few years. I rarely ever run into a gas station without coming out with a jug of iced tea, and a snack or two... The $5 pee break. The funnel and hose leading out the bottom of my floor have given me privacy and immediate options when on a site working.

Anyone going to add this to their trailer? Would like to hear any comments and/or questions!

Last week, a police officer was more than happy to use it in my trailer, thanked me twice. do pay close attention to where I'm parked so I don't have a steam in a driveway or yellow puddle somewhere.

I just got to a property, 10 miles from town. Soon as the truck hit park there was a grumble in my tummy. Ended up running into the corn field ;)Was looking for the rant thread when I came across this.
So what about chits?
How do you clean it?
That's EXACTLY the scenario I have when this in indispensable. I'm not using it on Main Street or in a townhouse community!

I clean it with a bucket of water thrown down it when I'm cleaning up everything else. A few sprays of simple green too. As far as the #2 goes. I suggest Imodium, not many options there.

Dude, we get that you are proud of the funnel urianl, ok and we know that it's worth a million bucks to you, but I'm going to just call total BS on the claim you made above. Yeah, cops come running to use my funnel urinal in town. Hogwash.

It's a great idea, you should be proud of it, but again, my customer base doesn't allow me to be dribbling pee out of the bottom of my trailer.

But, if a cornfield outside of town is the scenario you have it for, why wouldn't you go in the corn field? So, if you have to go wihle in town on a main street or a townhouse community, you just won't be able to use it? I can use my gatorade bottle all day long, shut the doors, turn on the light, be done.

If you are stuck having the thing on the wall of the trailer, why not run it down to a 1 gallon milk jug holding tank or something then you can go anywhere and not have to worry about peeing on the ground?

Shaler PA police officer. There was an accident at my traffic light (my property location, I own it) they were there waiting for the ambulance, fire truck, wrecker... talking to him, he had to go. I offered what I had. He walked 40-50 yards with me, I showed him, he laughed, said "good enough" put the door up and came back out. Said "thank you very much." Trailer was backed into my yard.

I suppose the fine and trouble from exposing yourself in public far outweighs the issue of wetting your pants.

Everyone assumes I'm dropping a load of urine at everyone's house. Geez... this is kind of an emergency, nowhere else to go that I don't have to drive 10-15 minutes for type of situation.

I appreciate all the comments. In light of remarks, I’m adding an oil change canister to a set of c-channel struts under my trailer to slide a catch tank under the hose. Pretty good idea. I can slide it out and dump it later then... and make it a lot more usable, too. Since I can use it anywhere and not when I get parked someplace adequate.

urinating in the corn field

So that’s why jiffy pop tastes that way?

FWIW this isn’t the first “I used an oil funnel to make a urinal thread “

IRRC you can simply go to cabelas a buy little camp toilets that are built and certified legal for just this purpose.

You could also just make a small tank and drain it like an RV (in many place for free when you fuel back up)

I mean this isn’t the first time someone with a trailer had to pee
