What kind of an idiot puts a urinal in their house?
This was my thought. Good luck when you go to sell it.
if its not difficult to install it shouldn't be difficult to remove. I don't see how this is a problem or enough to call the dude an idiot. If I lived solo and it was a bachelor pad, why the fuck not?

Toilets are bigger
Hint: why do large shirts cost the same as small shirts? Material isn't the only cost that goes into manufacturing something.
"They are not that complicated"
You're right, they're not as complicated as a toilet. For what it's worth, toilets are quite a bit more complicated to make than most people realize.
I watched a program (don't remember name) a few years ago showing how a toilet was made. Made in two halves and then hand blended together, smoothed with water and then fired in a furnace. Cool stuff.
Wait till you price plumber labor to rough-in a new water service for the urinal (standard house hold water service is 1/2" or 3/4" line). And, it also depends on the demand of the valve as well. It could be 25 or 40 gpm valve, and that mean that you may need to upgrade the water service from water meter to house to at least 1". The reality is that you will need to service the house as well as the urinal, hence you will need 1 1/4" service line to service 25 GPM valves, or 1 1/2" service line to service 40 gpm valves. And, pressure reducing valves as well as backflow preventor aren't cheap that may required by your local jurisdiction.
IMHO, it would cost you several thousands of dollar for the convenient of a urinal.
he's talking old school valves. the new flush valves do not have that high a demand for water savings. Heck, there are waterless urinals too, although I'm not exactly sold on that idea.
piss in the sink?
That would likely cause issues if you are short...
Just remove the toilet altogether, instant urinal! You need to have a good aim though, and avoid lighting a match in the room.
ballers son, ballers. In a single wide you probably want to stick with multi-use items like a toilet bowl, a shower/tub combo etc.
When you expand your dwelling more options open up.
Is that a problem? I thought most water pressures were much higher. Mine is near 80.
