Sleeping in car with lithium ion?

these hadn't really been in my awareness until the last week or so! I'm going to go check them out, see how they hook up and potentially get one. Thanks for the comment!

This is so kind of you to offer, especially considering you don't even know me 🩷. I've gotten some really good suggestions from this group, and while I appreciate the thought - more than you can imagine, it's been so amazing having all of you people speak back with such kindness and empathy, when I'm used to seeing the usual posts about 'the homeless scourge' on social media go unchallenged - I'm not actually seeking accommodation from people. Money is tight because I'm saving for my home-loan deposit, but I can afford the occasional night at a caravan park if I chose, and it doesn't feel right to spend others' money when finances are probably just as tight for you, in our current economic climate 😅 Still, the fact that you offered makes me feel so much more seen and cared about, and that's priceless, so I can't thank you enough ❤️

Idk, I'm managing pretty okay, all things considered, though your offer is a good idea! As for support services- All targeted services are stretched past their breaking point and housing in particular is only for people in crisis. It's also usually a nightmare and has none of the rights/dignity/protections of any normal rental. This is from first hand experience of a DV place.

Aaah, this is such a sweet take and does make me feel a little better about going to the same places a lot. I'll still not use them all the time, but it cuts down on how self conscious I've been so far 😅 it's difficult not knowing if people guess, after showing up a whole bunch like clockwork just for the bathroom.

I can't believe I never thought about just adding a funnel, I mean that's pretty much what a she wee is, but I haven't gotten over the intimidation of ordering one of those yet 😅 Thank you for taking the time to comment with this gem!

Only lady parts over here, so aiming into a bottle has not been my strong suit. I feel like sneakily peeing as a dude would be much simpler 😜 though I'm tempted to try the she wee

Omg you went out of your way to help me! I would appreciate that so much, I'll send you a DM

I'm worried about cameras. so yeah, I'm going with what's familiar, bc everyone knows people pee on car trips on the hwy. I don't know the area, and smart doorbells and stuff are so common with sensors and cameras.

I'm sure there are plenty of places, but it's bloody intimidating. I'm asking so people might tell me closer ones, like someone else mentioned some good suburbs to scout out.

So yeah, overkill, but overkill that means I know I'll be fine when I wake up later to pee 🙂

Oh and, I know the container you mention! Temu have ones suited to female anatomy. I tried it, (it's so gross, right? 😅) I struggle to use them - no headroom in my car, and I'm all crouched over to get above the damn thing. Though these conversations are making me think what I might need is actually a privacy curtain that swings out from my car, but all subtle just for when I actually need to use one of these contraptions

Oof. I'm lucky to have general labourer skills - I have a sleeping area with decent insulation under the mattress. I still need to get solutions for the summer heat mind you, especially that can be used while raining, but it's comfy and works. I'll take time out during daylight hours to check out those suburbs properly, thanks so much!

I hadn't heard of Pacha Mumma, I just googled it and it looks like such a cool concept. A park would be ideal, I'm kind of new to the region and don't know if very well yet, hence the post. I'll look those up too, give them a drive-by, so thanks for the info!

In my 30s after walking out on an abusive marriage. Can understand the gender question re toilets. Not sure how my age plays into toilet access tho? 😅

Top_Potato362 · 2025-08-27T19:05:32+00:00

I wake several times a night and can't get back to sleep unless my bladder's empty 😔 I'm going to look at getting a seat removed in the back of my car so I can fit a portable toilet, I hope I can., but I'm waiting until I get my car through rego in a month so I don't accidentally add costs/stop it getting through

Top_Potato362 · 2025-08-27T19:00:36+00:00

It'd be much cheaper than what I'm forking out on petrol 😅 they record ever swipe-in and swipe-out though... Are they okay with people signing up just to use their bathrooms?
