Hm. I don't think I shall be enormously helpful, because what we actually did was try not to use out-of-house toilets, and do intensive out-of-house training before we had to take a longer car ride. This was aided by E, after a couple of weeks, being able to use the toilet on demand, so we'd just tell her to use the potty right before going somewhere and we'd usually be good to go. She was able to signal when she wanted to go, so a couple of times we did try to use out-of-house potties with bad results (she hated it, wet her pants), so... take lots of extra changes?
When we did the out-of-toilet training, it was pretty much like a second round of in-house toilet training -- giving her water to drink, going to the toilet every fifteen minutes, waiting for a while to see if anything happened, rinse and repeat until something did happen. I actually took her to work with me (weekends and early hours before anyone showed up) because that was a venue we could just sit around and not worry that other people would have to use it or be annoyed there was a small child sitting there for an hour.
My friend K, the one you met, I believe did it all at the same time -- trained with, at least, the toilets she was likely to encounter in the course of her weekly classes/etc., and this seems like it worked really well for her -- meant she only had to do it once. I suspect starting out Reason with several different toilets (once you transition her; E was so tall by the time we started that we never did the free-standing potty at all) to begin with is probably the easiest way to do it. (K would probably be a good resource in general for this, since her kid trained at about the same age Reason is -- E was about six months older, I think.)
