    Saving Water- bathing, clothes washing etc.

    ran into same issue in a county TX. Remember; regulation does not mean you have to use it... you just have to install it and be inspected. But that being said..... there is power play sometimes going on with a person in the office who likes the power of "do what I say" rather the...

    only speculating.. but would think the vent fan pulls smells OUT of the toilet and up to your nose..... before it exits out the vent. For that reason would assume once you put in the vent connected straight to the box holding poo bucket...... you will have ZERO smells for it will then be...

    high output solar panels?

    way too much. I doubt it was the magnification that helped from the rain water anyway. It was most likely the bouncing of light onto the cells from so many directions via the curvature of the raindrops. This put more sunlight in more places. Also probably helped a lot that the losses due to...

    Medium Duty Ambulance FAQ (Freightliner, International, GMC, Chev)

    one issue with that is you can not open door till you tilt up the awning..... and for my set up..... that would be no go cause I got at least two vertical doors on each side could not open with out lifting awning up (former ambulance box). Also awning mount would have to sit high enough to open...

    Forest Sevice Hotshot Crew Truck.

    actually a good number of folk have done it without issue. They are members in here too. It is just like a house frame, but aluminum square tube instead of 2x4's. Principles are the same. Weld in a good redesign of the framing in the ceiling structure and your fine.

    interesting and very cool. Everyone has their own priorities though. At that price think I'd boil and condense it....... then use the uv-water filter system if one has already installed one. Mostly cause 5grand can pay for a lot of fueled adventures that go nowhere near salt water. Still...

    to each his own 1. drastically reduces size of tanks needed for water, grey and black tanks. Less fuel cost to haul those full tanks around. 2. extend boondocking - building with an eye on shtf..... though pretty sure it would never happen... going that route will extend boondocking as well...

    uncharted waters.... no clue. old rv's long ago had a system that sprayed into the exhaust but it got axed by environmentalist... or by smell? think it was also black waste too though for just grey for steaming off on/or in exhaust I would look into a cyclonic type filter...

    sounds logical to me. I too will not use a black "toilet" tank. do remember though kitchen sink in houses in many county consider that water waste; black, cause of bacteria that grows from food particles. Which makes a little since. I think newer rv's are now sending kitchen sink to black...

    consider reducing grey water by misting it on a hot plate mounted on exhaust pipe somewhere. Let it steam off. This will sterilize it as well so your not releasing bacteria and harming man or nature
