How to p--p in my van?

I bought a used TC so I could drive for long distances, and not have to use shared bathrooms. I have a TC cargo van, but it has windows on the side and rear. There are no seats except the the front two. I got a "Luggable Loo" from Amazon, and a friend of mine made curtains for the rear of my van. On the side, I have paper venetian blides, but they are in the process of falling off, so I might try to ask my friend to make curtains for the sides too. I was temped to put Magic Blackout 100% material on the sides, but I don't think it is legal. I may also need a curtain to pull, so people in front my van cannot see me. I got the "large" sunvisor mentioned, so I may just use that instead of a cabin curtain.

Aside from privacy, my other issue is getting in to the back of the van. I didn't realize how narrow the TC was when I got it, but I am able to lean the driver's seay back - and climb in to the rear area. Removing the copilots seat probaly would not help, plus I need it to hold travelling supplies. I probably should have got a bigger van, but I really liked the way the TC drives. Any tricks to getting in to the rear of the van (without exiting it)?

Has anyone else made such arrangements for their TC, and if so, do you have any suggestions?

I have a single curtain to use as a blackout in my TC. I've put small disc magnets in the edge which attach nicely to the flat areas on the outsides of the door pillars where a full cage would attach.

It keeps out the light, but could be use as a barrier in the winter to separate the cargo area from the cab. The volume to be heated in the cab will be smaller.

As to your capability to perch on a bucket without creating a talking point, I'll leave that to you!

Damn, haven't got cruise control on UK diesel models.

Shame!
