A VAN life devotee has revealed the crappy side of life on the road.<\/p>\n
Anyone harking for this lifestyle might want to take a closer look at the toilet etiquette required when your home is on wheels.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
It might just put you off. But that's not the case for TikTok user FastFamVan (@fastfamvan), who shared the less-than-glamorous side of life on the road in her post.<\/p>\n
Flushing toilets did not feature in their van. <\/p>\n
In their place was a compost toilet and you had to mash up the contents, like "churning" butter after each poop -and that wasn't even the worst part of it.<\/p>\n
It will be enough to convince you that there is little attraction with this way of living.<\/p>\n
\u201cWelcome to the unglamorous side of van life," she said with candor. <\/p>\n
Her post has generated a lot of interest with over 254,000 likes and hundreds of comments.<\/p>\n
It was clear that the toilet situation put many commenters off van life.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis sounds like an actual nightmare," was a view echoed by many more.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just like churning butter," she said, giving it a positive spin.<\/p>\n Gray water could also be a problem if not dealt with regularly.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you forget to check your gray water tank, the tank may overflow and you'll have dirty dishwater flooding the floor."<\/p>\n If you thought that was bad, the worst was yet to come.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019re in an area with lots of flies be careful with your composting toilet," she warned. "You could get a maggot infestation."<\/p>\n She admitted this was "easily the worst" part of living in a van.<\/p>\n For many commenters, it tipped them over the edge.<\/p>\n \u201cMy worst nightmare is the toilet," said one horrified person.<\/p>\n This guy was no fan either: \u201cYeah, it\u2019s the bathroom issue that makes van life a no for me.\u201d<\/p>\n But this viewer had another perspective: \u201cThis side of it is so interesting.
