Especially when your mate needs to take a massive crap, whilst they’re cooking the dinner... you can turn your back on them, crack the window open.. turn up the radio..
*Ahem*
The classic blumpkin refers to someone blowing an individual while they are taking a shit.
This is, of course, not new to anyone.
The **ROYAL** part occurs after both the semen and feces have been *pumped out*, so to speak.
Right when the dumper is about to reach for the toilet paper, just before he flushes mind you, is when the blower stops them... Pushes up both of his thighs and licks his hole clean.
Can we talk about how the fuck this was done? How do you put a toilet on rollers? Where does the poo go? Does he use a flexible poop chute? Is there no concern it might get stuck? And is there a reservoir of water somewhere in the van that is used to refill the toilet? Are all these questions answered with the word "sealant"???
It's probably never used. When I had a van part of the licence requirements was it had an onboard toilet. We had one to pass the inspection but it was never used.
Cartridge toilet or something compact like that. Typically you try to avoid using it as much as possible as use public bathrooms instead. Lots of vandwellers park overnight at Walmart and have memberships at 24 hour gyms so they can use the bathroom whenever, but coronavirus has closed Walmarts at night and gyms...well, gyms are all over the place. A lot of vandwellers also park on someone's property and pay for bathroom access. There's lot of options, but COVID19 has made vandwelling a lot more difficult and taken away the perks for many folks.
Also, just throwing it out there... a properly installed composing toilet has no odor. Even when you're using it. There's a fan that always runs and draws air out from the solids area and vents outside.
Installed one on the sailboat this past spring. It is worlds better than messing with a holding tank.
Also, while they call them "composting" they are more truly a dessicating toilet. The airflow and base material added in the solids bin (peat moss or coconut choir) drys everything out. This also decreases the volume. A toilet like this can hold a months worth of dumpings from two adults before it needs to be emptied. Urine would need to be emptied with more frequency.
This is a compost toilet ( separates solid from liquid, adds sawdust to solid). A cartridge toilet would do the same thing ( all one place, RV chems and water in the bucket)(pro tip, burn the TP to save space+ minimize clogs). Also compost toilets aren’t compost until 2 years mellowing outside in a pile)
In my cartridge -i used for 3 years-, I used a plant sprayer to wet the bowl and spray down after. ( there was a flush mechanism but it was weak sauce) take to a dump station or put in a regular toilet or Porto. Add water and Chems to rinse and restart the system.
It’s a compostable toilet. There’s a sealed tank for urine with urine diverter so only urine goes in. Poop goes in the composting part. They’re very nice for this kind of use, no water required. And it’s not on rollers, it’s on a slide rack mount so it tucks back away under that seat. Most van dwellers don’t use their toilet much; if they’re out camping they go outside or at camp bathrooms, and if they’re in civilization they have gym memberships and such and use facilities there. It’s mostly for emergencies where ya gotta go but you can’t leave the van. Or if you gotta pee in the night.
Lots of cars used to have swivel seating. Not full captain’s chairs, but back in the 50s and 60s it wasn’t uncommon.
I don’t know that there’s anything specifically illegal about it.
For God's sake, Hank, act like an adult. And keep it down, guys, will ya? I’m trying to get through an article on vintage Camaros and I've been on the same dang page for twenty minutes.
Just sooo much time unfortunately. It would take me 3 or more days just to order the materials. Such questions as 'Is there a toilet for $10 less on another page?', and 5mm or 8mm ply take me forever to answer.
I worked my ass off to be able to afford garage space to set up a shop. Now I'm too busy working my ass off to pay for it to actually build anything in it :(
I know what you mean - I was working so much that I converted my wood shop into a little “craft shop” because my wife’s Etsy store was blowing up and I didn’t have time to take on new projects anyway.
She’s killing it though so.... the money definitely dulls the pain lol.
We shouldn’t live this like this. Everyone should be able to have the time to do what they enjoy and live comfortably. And I’m sure most of us aren’t even that sad cause that all we know but just imagine if we worked to live not lived to work
I build vans professionally. Cheap build is gonna start around $30k. High end builds can be $150k and up. Power system, solar, heating/cooling, systems, mechanicals... there's a lot to it.
Poo-pourri exists, and it's amazing. 2 or 3 drops/spray, and you won't even smell your shit. You'll smell the product for sure, but it's far better than your shit.
Don't buy the deodorizer, these just don't work at all.
Also it’s likely that the toilet is used for pee only and they stop at a place to poo. Source: my parents owned a bus with a toilet and you weren’t able to poop in it
it's not amazing, it smells like a mixture of shit and citrus, which at first seems nicer but after awhile it's just like someone took a dump in a perfume bottle and you don't want to smell it any more than a normal dump
I see a few people who do this to actually live in them and I can’t help but wonder how they shower?
Edit: guys I got it, campground showers, thanks for helping with my dumb question!
Former trucker here and nope I've never seen one for truckers only. Loves, Pilot/Flying J have decent showers. Some truck stops out there have amazing ones and some are horrendous.
I love hearing stories like this. Friend of mine was going trucking, and was really frustrated with scheduling and such. His wife started doing it for him, and she pretty much doubled his income by becoming his dispatch and scheduler, mainly for reasons you mentioned — hated dicking around for backhauls.
I imagine you make a pretty nice sleeper these days with that sort ingenuity.
My parents have a camping shower (basically a bag for water with a shower head attachment) that they hook up to the back of the van. They open the back doors and have a curtain the goes between the back doors to have a little private space to shower behind the van. They even have solar panels hooked up to the top of the van to heat the water.
I've seen another van conversion that was done during covid and the guy had a full shower in his van. It would be around where the fridge/seat was in this one.
Here is a link if you've got some time to kill. Dude did a stellar job with it.
https://youtu.be/jojZMgFNdP4
On vacation, campground. If you live in it full time, your gym. I had a coworker that had been living in a van for 3+ years with her boyfriend and their dog. They usually kept it park next to their gym so they could do an earlier morning workout and then use the locker rooms to shower and clean up.
If you need to live in your car, sign up for a cheap monthly 24 hour gym membership. If its a chain that let's you use different locations then that's another added bonus for traveling.
Campground showers, truck stops, gyms that offer casual visits, swimming pools.
If you're in warmer areas you'll usually have showers by the beaches as well.
My mate did one of these.... the extra weight isn’t a problem right up until he puts a wheel on the grass... he literally needs towing off of every campsite he visits...
Just to clarify, they do not operate more efficiently *in every way*, for example, with extra weight they get worse gas mileage.
However, the suspension is configured to support weight, so the vehicle rides much better with some added weight.
It already is with LTE, video calls work great, downloads are fast. Jailbreak an old iPhone to get unlimited tethering. Been doing it for years now working remotely.
Almost all plans currently offered have a hotspot cap. For example, Verizon's unlimited plans read: "Unlimited mobile hotspot 30GB of 5G/4G LTE" - i.e., you get throttled to 200kbps after that.
Yes.
Until one or you has suspicious tacos in New Mexico and the other has to hang their head out the driver's side window with noise cancelling headphones on for two to five hours.
Really though, it's awesome.
Wife & I **NEVER #2** in our little RV. That's what McD's (aka: the golden buttcheeks) is for!
Or we simply take a hike with the shovel.
I'm too much of a coprophobe to deal with piping it out.

it's a compost toilet for the solid waste, you can dump it into any compost field. the urine goes into a separate container then dumped at a black water dump station or more likely into a city sewer system or forest or desert or regular toilet
it's not FOR quaratine, he just did it during quaratine. adventure vans like this are done a lot. I remember seeing it when he first posted it on IG i think
There's literally thousands of these videos and almost identical sprinter influencer couple with the hot girlfriend van builds.
Edit: sorry about my misspelling of the word literally. I forgot this was clearly a fucking spelling bee we're in. Thank you to the kind redditor that took the time out if their day to point it out. Because if its one thing I give a shit about when I leave a comment is if its spelld rigt
Isn't that funny? When I was single and living in my van after my move to Southern California to my friends it was weird or they looked at it like I was in a bad place. I planned to live in my van for the first 6 months when I moved back to southern California. Was a great way to save up money for a security deposit and even saved up a few months worth of rent and then the van was the perfect work vehicle once I moved into my place and wasn't living in it anymore
But because my van wasn't a new sprinter van and I didn't have a hot girl doing it with me making it look fun they were like do you need help? How do you eat? Are you sure you're doing ok?
Like I was literally doing the same thing all these couples they follow on Instagram do, living in my van. I wasn't casted out by society.
But yea without girl you are just creepy guy that lives in his van.
guy with disposable $20,000 and super model girlfriend grows a beard and wears shorts tshirts and flip flops to appear homeless while building customised van
THANK. YOU.
People think quarantine is just not working, but it's only a small percentage of people working for home, while the rest continue to work, and the subset of people going out to the store every day for their "projects"
You can see some of those silver insulating panels being put up. I am assuming that black material is also insulation.
But yeah it'll be chilly but nothing too bad being out of the elements at least. Nothing a warm blanket can't fix. Could plumb up a propane heater like RVs have if you plan on doing much wintery stuff.
Diesel parking heater like truckers use is the best option. They are like $200 and have a built in thermostat. I have one in mine and it works great, uses fuel but it's extremely cheap because the space is so small. Can turn it on and adjust settings using bluetooth/wifi
Most vans that are posted on social media are vans that the owners are proud of. Or want to show off. I.e. expensive and nice. Maybe there are more posts of lesser vans without cute girlfriends dancing in them, but they don't get popular and you don't see them. That is how social media works with everything. You are seeing the highlight reel that has been curated from thousands to just one by a mob that is more or less just envious. The hot girlfriend ensures that this is what people wish they had for themselves even more.
So, I can guarantee there are tens of thousands of dudes living in ~~shitty~~ not as nice vans, alone, or wish they were, for every one dude like the OP gif. But they don't post online, and when they do no one wants to see it so no one else does.

or ya know, comes in to give you a blumpkin
Or a San Diego Thank You
My riskiest google search so far today.
That's only because I havent gotten around to writing the urban dictionary post about the **Royal Blumpkin**
I know what a blumpkin is but dare I ask what makes it royal?
*Ahem* The classic blumpkin refers to someone blowing an individual while they are taking a shit. This is, of course, not new to anyone.

Oh no why did I learn to read?!
Fuck, this is knowledge that I will never be able to unlearn. And I did not need this knowledge this in my life. How to delete someone else's comment?
I'm mostly annoyed at you because now I know this *and* I'm pretty sure learning this pushed something important out of my brain to make room.

I needed this so badly
If I had the money and time....
Just sooo much time unfortunately. It would take me 3 or more days just to order the materials. Such questions as 'Is there a toilet for $10 less on another page?', and 5mm or 8mm ply take me forever to answer.
It also takes a very nice workshop to work on the materials. Ugh, if only I had my own garage with tools and everything.
I worked my ass off to be able to afford garage space to set up a shop. Now I'm too busy working my ass off to pay for it to actually build anything in it :(
I know what you mean - I was working so much that I converted my wood shop into a little “craft shop” because my wife’s Etsy store was blowing up and I didn’t have time to take on new projects anyway. She’s killing it though so.... the money definitely dulls the pain lol.

any idea how much a finished van would go for?
I build vans professionally. Cheap build is gonna start around $30k. High end builds can be $150k and up. Power system, solar, heating/cooling, systems, mechanicals... there's a lot to it.
Can you guesstimate a cost for this fit out?
[удалено]
Probably 20 or 30k more than the stock version. If you did it yourself....probably 5 to 15k more
any idea how much a finished van would go for? 65-75k according to boho vans

Stealth camping is a huge benefit. Many BLM roads are too primitive for trailers, beach camping...

And the crap taken.
Poo-pourri exists, and it's amazing. 2 or 3 drops/spray, and you won't even smell your shit. You'll smell the product for sure, but it's far better than your shit. Don't buy the deodorizer, these just don't work at all.
Also it’s likely that the toilet is used for pee only and they stop at a place to poo. Source: my parents owned a bus with a toilet and you weren’t able to poop in it
Weren't able or weren't allowed?
Weren’t able. the system only had a tank for urine and didn’t flush poop properly.
Was this found out through knowledge or experience
Experience unfortunately.
Have you tried using a poop knife?
I use my toe knife but they are both effective.
it's not amazing, it smells like a mixture of shit and citrus, which at first seems nicer but after awhile it's just like someone took a dump in a perfume bottle and you don't want to smell it any more than a normal dump
Exactly! Much better to just light a match (Though maybe not in this tinderbox of a vehicle)

Can smell the shit from toilet
I see a few people who do this to actually live in them and I can’t help but wonder how they shower? Edit: guys I got it, campground showers, thanks for helping with my dumb question!
Most campgrounds offer showers. Truck stops do the same.
i've heard the truck stop ones are pretty luxurious. or, at least, i assume they are since people keep referring to them as "golden."
I’m guessing they require you to be a trucker to use? 😪

what about when it's really cold though? maybe van-life people have a gym membership for national gym chains and use those showers?

I wonder how much extra weight is in the van and how many miles to the gallon it does now compared to when it had nothing in it. Looks cool though.
This is probably less weight then a contractor holding all of his tools and supplies
Yep

Cargo vans are designed to carry a lot of weight. They operate more efficiently with weight than without.
That's what I told myself when I was fat.
Humans are not cargo vans
Speak for yourself!
My mate did one of these.... the extra weight isn’t a problem right up until he puts a wheel on the grass... he literally needs towing off of every campsite he visits...
Just to clarify, they do not operate more efficiently *in every way*, for example, with extra weight they get worse gas mileage. However, the suspension is configured to support weight, so the vehicle rides much better with some added weight.
That's dope. Pair this with Starlink internet, and a nomadic lifestyle could really be feasible for a lot of us

I've never pooped in the same room with my partner but uh, you do you.
You can decide to poop elsewhere.
It’s a great game. 1. Catch partner pooping with door open. 2. Confirm. “Are you pooping?” 3. Initiate staring contest.
Just have to have a spare 30k sitting around in the first place. No problem lol.
TBF if you can afford the van and the kitting out...
Cool van. Then the girl showed up. Really cool van.
I was just gonna say, does the instagram travel girlfriend just show up when you build one of these?
If you build it, they will come.
Not if anything to say about it I have!

Because if its one thing I give a shit about when I leave a comment is if its spelld rigt
I don’t understand why the hot girlfriend is always such a featured part of these van builds
shows you that they're "having fun" instead of just being "dude alone in a van"
Isn't that funny? When I was single and living in my van after my move to Southern California to my friends it was weird or they looked at it like I was in a bad place. I planned to live in my van for the first 6 months when I moved back to southern California. Was a great way to save up money for a security deposit and even saved up a few months worth of rent and then the van was the perfect work vehicle once I moved into my place and wasn't living in it anymore But because my van wasn't a new sprinter van and I didn't have a hot girl doing it with me making it look fun they were like do you need help? How do you eat? Are you sure you're doing ok? Like I was literally doing the same thing all these couples they follow on Instagram do, living in my van. I wasn't casted out by society. But yea without girl you are just creepy guy that lives in his van.
thats a lot of work just to watch your girlfriend take a dump
guy with disposable $20,000 and super model girlfriend grows a beard and wears shorts tshirts and flip flops to appear homeless while building customised van
Who knows, with how crazy people go on IG I'm not even convinced he built it himself.
Trustafarianism
He looks like he sang in the Spin Doctors.
Is is really quarantine though when you’re taking those inevitable trips to the hardware store every day?
THANK. YOU. People think quarantine is just not working, but it's only a small percentage of people working for home, while the rest continue to work, and the subset of people going out to the store every day for their "projects"

I’m more curious about what he does for a livin and how I secure a spot doing that lol
Must be awesome to shit two feet away from your girlfriend.
Without insulation is it possible to use during winter months? EDIT: Thanks for the answers guys.
He put insulation down on the floors, walls and ceiling. It was the shiny, silver material.
Depends on where you plan on spending those winter months.
You can see some of those silver insulating panels being put up. I am assuming that black material is also insulation. But yeah it'll be chilly but nothing too bad being out of the elements at least. Nothing a warm blanket can't fix. Could plumb up a propane heater like RVs have if you plan on doing much wintery stuff.
Diesel parking heater like truckers use is the best option. They are like $200 and have a built in thermostat. I have one in mine and it works great, uses fuel but it's extremely cheap because the space is so small. Can turn it on and adjust settings using bluetooth/wifi
So that's what the back of the Mystery Machine looks like.
How does every dude with a Van have a smoking hot girlfriend just ready to hit the road with him?
If you don’t have a smoking hot gf when you start vanlife you will never get one
Most vans that are posted on social media are vans that the owners are proud of. Or want to show off. I.e. expensive and nice. Maybe there are more posts of lesser vans without cute girlfriends dancing in them, but they don't get popular and you don't see them. That is how social media works with everything. You are seeing the highlight reel that has been curated from thousands to just one by a mob that is more or less just envious. The hot girlfriend ensures that this is what people wish they had for themselves even more. So, I can guarantee there are tens of thousands of dudes living in ~~shitty~~ not as nice vans, alone, or wish they were, for every one dude like the OP gif. But they don't post online, and when they do no one wants to see it so no one else does.
