And, on the other hand,  if something had gone sideways then no telling what condition that soft cushy piece of carpet would be in. 

This is the part in question.

 

HErb

But, it is the shoes and flashlight.....for the middle of the night trips......maybe run some 120v out there, add a night light on the inside, and a powered ceiling vent/fan...that cold air draft coming up around the seats, on a windy day,  might cause a bit of shrinkage?

My first trip to Ukraine was in October 2006.  Took a train ride from Odessa to Kiev overnight.  Middle of the night had to use toilet.  Got up, down the corridor and to toilet.  Instructions were in Russian, and at the time I could not read.  Sat down and froze my butt to seat, never mind the charms.  Mentioned it to my companion and she tells me "oh, you must first close the valve did you not read the instructions?"  With valve OPEN outside COLD air comes UP!!

 

 

Umm, NO.

I thought you are supposed to stand on the seat and squat down......not sit on it......kind of like parallel skiing with your feet wide apart.

Like trying to hit a moving target?  Most people can't hit a non-moving target.
