    You might look at one of these by Partner Steel, as a portable toilet. They are pretty cool, very portable, leak proof - and if you will be pulling into RV parks and the like on occasion, they can be washed out via the normal RV toilet hook up. You need to check out the accessories, to get the full idea of what it entails:

    It's unlikely you will be saving money unless you go many nights or buy a very inexpensive vehicle.

    A van based RV will probably work for you but you will have to workout some details like where to get water and where to empty the toilet. In Ontario (as an Ontarian), you can camp on crown land for free for 21 days in one spot (we just got back from Temagami where we spent 6 days in the bush) and have decided that maybe next year we will try for 16 days or so if we work out the water issue.

    It's not about the truck and it is not about the distance traveled. Get out there with whatever you have, meet people and see things. Push the envelope of your comfort zone and live.

    Might not work for what you are doing but what about a gym membership with national locations...It would work for when youre in major cities. Just a thought.

    ive owned about 800 ford vans and love smb's for the capability... but if youre "done " with the jeep thing... and dont necessarily need a van that can scale a wall, there are other more practical rigs out there with a similar footprint. a real RV, a cab over box truck, any larger cut van. an SMB is only one rung below a unimog in my opinion. awsome, but dont get one for just dirt roads.
