"How about a bidet, mate?"

OMG! Find a need and fill it!

Wait until those Turkish civilians find out about this and the shelves will be bare.  :o

A big difference between your T/K and our Front Lounge is the size of the holding tanks, our 2003 FL has a 32-gallon gray and 32-gallon black tank, your T/K has a 24 gray and a 18-gallon black tank, a very significant difference.  LD finally upgraded the T/Ks to larger tanks in 2015.
LD, BTW, didn't bother to correct their sales brochures, which indicated 24-gallon black tanks until 2015, which upset a lot owner who thought the black tank was a lot bigger.
----
Listing the black tank capacity at 24 gallons instead of the actual 18 gallons 'upset' this owner, for sure! 

After I discovered that LD had not bothered to correct the erroneous capacity listing on the spec sheet or inform buyers of the TK , I expressed my 'annoyance' at this inaccurate listing to Ed, explaining that a 6-gallon difference in capacity did make a difference when boondocking or when having limited (inconvenient, nonexistent....) access to a dump.  He didn't seem to think it was a big deal; I did not agree.

According to the spec sheets (links on the home page of the forum), the TK's black tank capacity was listed as 18 gallons (instead of 24) starting with 2005 models; later model years offered a different tank placement and additional capacity, I believe.
Over the years, the limited black tank capacity of the TK (in my case, a 2003) has definitely required additional 'planning' and compromise when traveling, dry camping, and boondocking.

Over 17 years, I've managed to work out and deal with the constraints; all things considered, the TK has been a great choice for me, but the limited black tank capacity of a pre-2005 TK is something that a buyer should be aware of if considering this model.

As ever, YM (and tank capacity!) MV.

If you are prone to saving WalMart shopping bags for Paper Waste disposal there may be a cheaper alternative.

Here in SoCal plastic shopping bags cost 10 cents each. That can add up quickly. Amazon has the old style “T Shirt” plastic bags at about 2 cents each.

That’s a 5-1 savings. That’s good financial sense. https://youtu.be/JSlPrrCLiCM

For aesthetic reasons, we prefer the opaque black t-shirt bags:

Larry, actually our old '89 TK LD came with the sucky 13 gallon grey tank - the limiting factor when boondocking unless the person designs around it (2nd grey tank, portable blue waste tank, be creative with water waste, etc.).  If I remember right, we have a 25 gallon black tank which has never been our bottle neck no matter if we put all TP down it or not (though it does make a difference with only brown streaked TP) - I don't think we verified the size of that one by pouring known amounts of water down it.  We did verify the grey tank so we knew what size portable blue waste tank to use.
