@citiprius posted a link to some cargo area lights for sale by Toyota in Japan. I was looking through the other items, and saw what I initially thought was a cover for owner's manual (photo below). Instead, when I ran the item's description through Google translate, I found this is the description in English: トヨタ プリウスPHV | アクセサリー・カスタマイズカー | 室内・インテリア | トヨタ自動車WEBサイト "Mobile toilet (simple set) It is a simple toilet in an emergency, installed in a car and used. 8,100 yen without consumption tax 7,500 yen [about $85] ※ One touch toilet can be used repeatedly. * The number of times of use will vary depending on the usage environment of the customer. * The warranty period is one year from the date of purchase." Of note is that this is the "simple set" and that it carries a one year warranty, which makes one wonder what constitutes a failure and how exchanges are handled.
1. One touch toilet (1) * 2. Poncho for etiquette (1) 3. Care bag (2) 4. Deodorant coagulant (2) 5. Disposal bag (2) 6. Absorbent sheet (2 sheets) 7. Mounting case I guess #4 and #6 has expiry date?
Todays exchange rate for Yen is .0094 US Dollar, so list is 170.14. So is $76.32 sale price??? It's still a cardboard box.......
.0094 X 8,100yEN = 76.14 USD....... OOPS, my bad, somehow cut and paste put in 18,100, not 8100 into the Google currency calculator! It's still a cardboard box for 76 bucks....... don't even see a T on it. Oh look Amazon just delivered a free toilet containing my last order. I have everything else plus Charmin......
Definitely something you can DIY for less with many dollar store and Amazon items. Posted via the PriusChat mobile app.
For most of my travels, a roll of toilet paper and a cheap garden trowel would suffice. And a free plastic grocery bag to store the trowel. Not sure how much of Japan has similarly low population densities.
