In the late 80’s I took a small crowd from Aero Country Airport in Texas to Las Vegas New Mexico for a winter trip of snowmobiling in the mountains in my Beech 18. While we maintained a legal and high level of professionalism in the cockpit there were multiple fools in the cabin that consumed mass quantities of adult beverages consisting mostly of beer. This resulted in a phenomenon sometimes referred to as “screaming kidneys syndrome “. This necessitated maximum utilization of the relief tube portion of the lavatory furnishings. The enroute portion of the flight profile was accomplished in VMC with an OAT averaging -15C. Upon arrival at KLVS the post flight walk around inspection revealed a considerable accumulation of yellow mixed ice on the underside of the fuselage starting just aft of the relief tube venturi and extending across the tailwheel gear doors all the way to the elevator tail cone. We considered ourselves lucky that the flight didn’t last longer so as to possibly interfere with tailwheel extention. I called Flight Service and gave them a PIREP of light to moderate mixed yellow icing in the descent below 11,500.

Will NEVER be able to use that kinda non stop range. We also plan for 3 or so hr legs. Every now and then we are able extend that. Flying back from our girl in Colorado, we can often do it non stop. Plus, having had DVT, my doctor strongly recommends getting up and walking around every three hours or so.

Buy strong garbage bags to fit your “bucket”. Add the product below as needed. It eliminates all odors, not just urine. No leaking and no smell, no fuss cleanup:

I saw this in a rite-aid drug store, looked promising for a bucket potty. Attachment: IMG_0601.JPG

You don't need a potty. Get a Texas girl. She rides in the back seat of the Mooney and pees on a coffee can. I don't know how but it allows 5 hour non stops. If you are out on the ranch or in Big Bend there are no rest rooms. I guess that's how they learn to improvise. Might as well drive if you are going to stop every couple of hours. Each stop will add an hour to your trip time.

Just get over it.
Did a 14 day raft trip down the Grand Canyon. On day 1 many/most of the guests were pretty concerned about the potty situation. #1 in the river, #2 in a can. By day 2, nobody cared anymore. You will miss out on a lot of cool adventures if you insist on a flushing potty every where you go.
My wife and I use Travel John's on trips. 5+ hours non-stop in the Mooney is no problem for either.

You could simply put a PortaPotti as seat in a CriCri, but wait - the q was for 2 aboard?

I bought this "Campa-Potti" at Walmart for a very elderly gentleman passenger who was concerned about needing access on short notice. I bought some straps to tie it down to the seat posts in my A36. In the end he elected to sit up front for a short, two-hour flight, and we didn't even carry the potty.
