It exists, since I have one in the XV-JP. It is indistinguishable in operation from the diesel Airtops, for good and bad--including a lot of noise when getting up to temperature. Inarguably convenient, though. This one might suit your purposes...

It's my last word on the subject--too old for a pissing contest (no pun intended)--but are you seriously suggesting that fecal waste dried out by kitty litter in a landfill is to be preferred to neutralization at a sewage treatment facility? Assuming you do, do you follow through with that...

Pretty good math, and no one would argue that the WAG bags aren't pricey, but for campers in the boonies, it's not quite as bad as your prediction, since you only pee into the bag to provide the liquid necessary to gel the poop. Number Ones by themselves don't require the bag and, indeed, you...

I have this type of heater in the XV-JP and would suggest it be given serious consideration. Mine is 10 liters, and had to come from Europe with substantial accompanying expense and delay, so the availability of a heater like this on our side of the pond is a good thing. Funny thing is, that...

I don't suppose it would, what with your current highly-sophisticated system and the wide availability of unsuspecting dumpsters. :( Others, however, might want to give some thought to handling the waste correctly. You can encapsulate it using the gelling powder system, treat it to make it...

Thanks for the kind words. I'm pleased to have a decent van to go with the clever potti. ;) The Curve is the best I know of if you have a place for it. But it is too tall to fit under a bench that you'll use for seating, especially if you want a reasonable cushion as well. So when I did the...

It'll be good if that works out. Back in 2008, Upscale Automotive was set up to use the Oberaigner components in the kit offered by South African company Sportsvans to make Sprinter 4x4s. Upscale was the North American representative and installer of the the Sportsvan conversions, and they got...

The electric flush is a solid feature, to my mind. Makes the commode much more home like. And the batteries last a long time. That plan works pretty well. It's what we did in our last Sprinter.

I know that 35s would look better on my XV-JP, and provide somewhat better trail performance, than the 33" Duratracs that are on there now. But I'm unlikely to make the change because of what I would lose in acceleration and grade climbing ability. To my mind, the move to big tires is best...

Plenty sturdy with little flex. Emptying is as good as it gets for this sort of thing. It holds enough that it can get heavy when totally full, but nothing stops you from emptying it a bit early. Pump works fine. The biggest positive is the size; as I said, it's about as comfy to sit on as the...

You know, buddy, a year ago, the smart money would have definitely bet on us doing a new 4WD one. But, unexpectedly, the "stopgap" Sprinter we built last winter is working out really well, so well that it's looking less likely we'll get ourselves the new 4WD. And even if we do, the build we'd...

Yep, know that. Longer thread from last March here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/123505-AWD-Sprinter-announcement-expected-in-North-America-in-early-2015

What a long, strange trip it's been. This is a big day for those of us who heard our first 4WD Sprinter rumor in 2006.
