Okay, I don't recall this one ever being discussed:

Why did Ennis urninate in the sink?

Otherwise he would have had to go outside and it was cold and windy outside?  :-\ ;)

Perhaps.

In the movie we see a toilet in the back ground, but in the short story it has that descripition of his releiving himself. It makes me think his trailer is much smaller, maybe even like a camper, or a caravan I think it is called in Europe in a English-centric way.

Front-Ranger:
Maybe it's related to the leftover coffee he warms up. On Brokeback Mountain, he drank fresh perked coffee and urinated in nature; in the flatlands, he drank leftover coffee and urinated in the sink. Contrasting his two different lives.

Also remember that Alma turns on the faucet in the story after she said, "That line hadn't touched water in its life."

He probably had no toilet in the trailer. I've never been in a trailer, I've only seen them in movies so I don't know much about it.
