We have a portable toilet yes. Even on a campsite, we’d use our onboard toilet at night rather than waking everyone up opening and closing the door and having to treck to the toilet block in the dark, cold and wet. It’s a godsend.
A wee bottle is easier to empty and wash. But horrifies my wife.
Which motorway services are these. I know of a few that have dedicated areas for motorhomes/ campervans. You pay a parking charge if staying longer than 3 hrs.
I use an old Lenor large bottle. Very sturdy and commodious, but still fits in a backpack to empty. It has a very large opening at the neck too which helps.
Most of us just need test tubes

This is my local M5 services.
I didn't know this, but it makes perfect sense as we always try to stop there for lunch on the way to visit my Mother in the Lake District. It's beautiful nd they also have a duck pond you can see from one of the restaurants. The focaccia from the farm shop there is wonderful, though as others have commented, not at all cheap!
Staid at the Express Red Car Park at Dublin airport last night before a 6am flight. Pop-top up (because kids). No problems at all. We did park next to a big white however to avoid sticking out like a sore thumb.Planning to do it again in a few weeks’ time - and this time I’ll have to pop the roof. So we’ll see what happens
