Bidet?

YanniLazarus

I will need to do some "cutting and pasting" to install, apparently... but i can't wait to tell random T@B admirers that the little teardrop has a full kitchen... radiant heat...  AC...a shower... a toilet AND a bidet!  Anyone else put something similar in their T@B?

Have a bidet at home, I told my wife I couldn't live without 1 on the road. She found a portable 1 from Lux Bidet. I was skepticle, but it really works well and you can fill it with warm water.

We're in the same camp.  Actually have 2 bidets at home... not that this is a competition! I'm curious about how you get warm water. Our home bidets are pretty feature- rich. We pretty much never connect to city water... I've been fantasizing that the water in our fresh water tank isn't obnoxiously cold.

The protable Lux is a soft side bottle with a directional nozzle on it. I know, I thought the same thing, but it really works. And you can fill it with warm water. Interestingly, when my wife bought it( for $20, Lux gave us a coupon for a free full featured home bidet, now we also have 2.

The big issue for my toilet is that the seat doesn't have the standard home toilet seat bolt configuration. I'm not sure if all nucamp installed toilets are similar. I'm going to cut the mounting plate to fit and probably fasten with my favorite really strong clear plastic velcro dots.

There are tons of RV bidets on the interwebs, and every RV blogger seems to have some clickbait.  If you dig a bit, you can find lots of mods to the toilet that allow the simple ones to fit.

Here is one YouTube video that shows how to install one of the basic bidets on a Thetford "Aqua Magic" like the ones in our trailers.  Some modifications of the bidet were necessary, of course.

I carry a Toto Washlet Portable unit, but I just looked at the Amazon  and it has almost tripled in price, so...I won't even link it.  There are tons of portable units on Amazon to choose from.

I don't know if this link will work, but it's on Amazon $17.99. Nice for hotel/motel, roadside rest areas, etc.

I installed this handheld sprayer inline with the water supply to the toilet. Works really well. I mounted it to the side of the sink area (to the left of the toilet if you’re facing it).

Progress, I guess. I can fasten this modified bidet to my 2020 non- cassette toilet,  but the provided steel adapter  thread won't fit on the nucamp plastic threaded fitting... and i'd like to put a shutoff in as well. Where can i buy plastic- friendly fittings?  These are not standard or garden hose thread? For extra points: the hose to the bidet needs to be able to fasten to the steel threaded end at the bidet itself on one end and to the adapter, whatever it ends up being, on the other end. Thanks!

Update... finally have a shut off installed for the toilet and bidet, and no leaks.  Bidet seems to work pretty well. Just have to modify the seat a bit so it closes properly, and install velcro fasteners on bidet. And I have to recover from T@B yoga work kneeling in bathroom for way too long.

Seat modified and bidet "industrial" velcroed in place... and the bidet works surprisingly well. I'm pleased with the result. Real Rube Goldberg on the plumbing fittings to get all that stuff in a very small space!

I thought it was worth an update. We LOVE the bidet in our T@B!  1. Spray using just the onboard nucamp installed standard pump matches the water pressure from our $600 home bidet.  2. Reduced toilet paper usage.   3. Clean bottoms...  only caution- there's no seat pressure cutoff sensor so you need to make sure to turn off the spray valve when done.

There has been some interest in installing bidets on Facebook... I thought I'd post a few more pictures here for reference... (head lube = liquid in toilet!)  Cuts made with razor knife... and a little sanding.
