Where did you find the frame deal at ?
I have no idea where I got the frame. I've been using it since the car/tent camping days. I do keep a box of commercial garbage bags for an emergency supply when I shop in California long enough to run out of store bags, but I do like the idea of getting a second use from the bags. I keep a couple of layers of paper towels or newspaper in the bottom of the frame to deal with any leaks.

I haven't seen the frame I use on line, however this looks like it would work although it seems to be out of stock.

I was afraid you had one of those “way back” items like Earl’s macrame camping chair.

Different model trailer (17B) but my trash goes into a Tupperware lined with a bag just inside my door. Shoes go in the basket underneath. Skinny enough that it's not in the way of going out the door.

I use a tiny bungee to hang a plastic grocery bag from the pole. I hate having to open a door with dirty hands or trash so I dont mind it being visible. Gets emptied often.

Posted this before. It's readily available. I hang mine on the door to my classic 17B because I can use it inside or outside and it's not in the way of anything I need to access when the door is closed.
I use Kitchen Catcher bags, placing extras in the bottom of the can.

I use a tall kitchen trash can. I secure it to a cabinet with Velcro when traveling.

I cheated and built in a trash/recycling drawer.

I wish more campgrounds, especially where we have been in the US, provided recycling bins, though it seems to be improving.

I keep 2 small plastic waste baskets at foot of bed, one for trash, one for recycling. got at WalMart for not much. just about right size for the plastic grocery store bags, so I can reuse them. when the recycle bag fills up, I tie the top and throw it in the back of the tow. sometimes, I take them home to recycle, but often a campground will have recycle stations, so I empty there.

at night, I move the waste basket to the side so I don't have to worry about getting any overhanging bedding dirty. putting trash under cabinet behind closed door is no go for me, ymmv lols. cheers

On our 19B the garbage is by the front entrance, left hand side when you walk in. I put 2-5lb command hooks just below where the counter extension flips down and hang a rack sack on them. Rack sacks are great because they don't leak, are just the right size and have a nice scent. Only $5.49 for 50 bags at Walmart. Easy to take on/off the command hooks and no holes
