I live in a tiny van – I shower outside but it's my unflushable toilet hidden under my bed that has everyone talking | The Sun

LIVING a nomadic lifestyle is some people's idea of heaven, for others, it's hell.

But Sydney Ferbrache from the US, can think of nothing more ideal and has travelled full time in a tiny van for the past five years.


Documenting her journey on social media, Sydney answered some of her most common asked questions as well as showed off a tour of her Ford transit van, but it seemed people were most interested in her bathroom.

The brunette beauty went five years without a toilet in her van, but recently upgraded her motorhome by putting one under her bed and in the kitchen.

The toilet is stored under her bed but comes out into her kitchen as she explained how she uses it.

"Today is toilet day, this is my favourite van tour," she said in one clip.

Sydney revealed the toilet came with cartridges that 'flush' after each use which she has to change out every two weeks.

She added: "I like to remove the whole thing, air it out, set it outside.

"I clean the entire toilet just to freshen her up and then bring it back inside, this is also why having a portable one is so nice."

Sydney first takes a black rubbish bag and puts it inside the bowl of the toilet and secures it with a rubber band before adding the 'flushing' cartridges.
