Looking forward to seeing it!

Pictures of todays progress. A bit less than I thought but a few changes (and that takes time). I set this up at my first choice of 20 degrees (which matches the F-150 cab.. Didn't like it! Adjusted back to 12 degrees and it looked boxy.. Didn't like it. Finally settled as you see it at 15...

Last for today and I think final on the roof curve. I was reaching critical height and needed to lower a bit. I do like this better. A little tweaking on the front edge, yet back I'm good with. Getting close and should be able to cut the other side tomorrow. Best part is: I'm approaching a...

Pressure I can apply. As far as a vacuum table, not going to happen. It will be too big! Now strap clamps I do see happening. I did a sample piece to see I=how, how clamped, it would break. Yes the joint is still the weakest point. Here's 'my' conclusion of the test: The gorilla glue absorbed...

Layout done! Used a section of PVC tubing I have around to mark-out the roof curve. That of course lead to the cutting. Used my saber saw for the rough in cut. And see how close I got it? Funny, I didn't notice my Camper in the background and how it lined up on the cap.. Cute, but too long...

I'll be marking out the roof curve and making the initial cuts today. Joining the foam panels is now become a question mark for me. I read most use Gorilla Glue, yet just read about another using Great Stuff spray. I see benefits of either.. I will probably stay with Gorilla Glue mainly because...

Here's the curved roof version which I hope to achieve: This is just a Cap, not a full camper. I consider it a Sleeper. A raised platform for the bed (to get full width) and over-cab is just for weekend storage of clothes. Under the platform will be an area for cooking gear, bug tent, etc...

Okay, my expectance to TNTT has gone through and started up a thread to get a decent understanding of this Foam Build they do. I will do a fairly simple build to work my way through this and learn if and how I could incorporate this build technique. Here's what I'll be building first. First...

Appreciate that!

LOL, me too. This will be a huge learning curve for me.

I spent 8yrs running around Pittsburg (and surrounding areas) and love the area. There's probably not a road (or path) I haven't been on. Back country traveling/fishing is very good, though the better fishing (bigger fish) is in the river and areas south of town. A simple 'belly boat' and a day...

I'm patiently awaiting my expectance to TNTT and talk to them a bit deeper about the Foamie construction. Where it could be used and how could lead to a 500 lbs reduction in weight incorporated into my design. There are several considerations involved here that I won't get into right now, just...

Artisan, I may just be running down your path and building my own. I've been able to re-figure my axle's position, yet still in the wet-bath. My containment cabinet may just have to be custom for it to work well. We'll be a talking 'crap' for some time to come!

My downside (con) to the C Head is the handle to stir. Yet once getting used to using, I may find we will use it more often. That could turn into a positive.. Which model did you get? I'm looking at this without the bucket or handle assembly. Housing Lid Assembly ...

Got it! I will have an overhead fan, mainly to exhaust moisture while showering. The big thing I find is our current doesn't have an exhaust fan near the cooktop and that is an issue (also off-topic, sorry).

Very nice input on this! Thank you. When I say 'sealed', I'm thinking more of foam tape then hermetically sealing. I'm working through a wet-bath design and really don't 'wish' to remove the head each time we shower. I see some sort of sealing or maybe just a cover to ensure to added...

Two major differences in my mind. You house commode is water based and has no other venting. All that smell from your house commode is draw upward. The composter should have some sort of venting, being air is being (actively or passively) drawn down away and from you. You should feel a small...

Sealing the seat to me is important. Passively venting (maybe CPU fan) would be really nice. I think of how good vault toilets work. Passively vented. I also think that a CPU fan, switched to run once you open the lid, should take any smells (that would drift upward) outward. This does mean...

Just heading (pun intended) into this.. I have the C-head on the top of the list right now. What I don't see with yours is seals.. Basic UDDT which looks good, yet what stops any smell from coming back into the cabin? Curious if you sealed the seat and created a passive vent outside?

Absolutely hear you. Gear can be stored fore or aft of axle changing quite a bit. I have placement of 2 tanks to work through (fresh & gray). My press to get this part as close as possible is designing the wet bath. I hoped for 4" forward to give me minimal foot clearance. I know see I can move...
