"Can we please use your bathroom?"

[GypsyR]

I figured no's would outnumber the yesses, but not quite by so much. Interesting.

I guess for us it would depend on circumstances

I think you have two issues. First of course is with strangers in your home, even if only for a few minutes. That is a solid fear and defensive response. Also, in those traffic situations, once you start, how many before it stops. Sorry, no! is valid.
Next problem is having the rig be used for moving and storage. Had those situations be it family, holiday gifts, whatever having the rig filled except for the needed seats. Even as I now travel solo, except for some clothes on the bed and laptop bag on the couch everything is put in a cabinet, closet, or basement. I pull into the rest area and the rig is mine, everything readily available and clear for me to do whatever I want. No way would my rest room be blocked as often that is a major justification to own the rig.

Yes, I absolutely get that.

This was an unusual trip in a previous truck/camper unit, travelling home from a remote high-country site where we'd been for 10ish days and were chased out by snow. Our cargo included a wall tent, airtight wood burner, big tarps, tables, etc etc etc. This was a 'guy's trip -- three in the wall tent and two in my camper. (They were somewhere nearby in a truck, also with a ton of gear.)

Nowadays it's just my wife and I in a 24' motorhome -- which would make it easy to let strangers in to use the bathroom. But we wouldn't, for all the reasons listed in this thread. The idea of a line-up outside our coach door is nightmare-inducing.

Never say never.

I’d happily pass out every bit of food and drink we could spare. Otherwise I’d make an example and go use a tree, sign post or other appropriate water release place. I would also add toilet paper and extra doggie bags to our outdoor supply table that I setup for free grabbing.
