Congrats! Nice progress! The gentleman who imported our 917 swapped out the seats for "Rubicon" racing seats. They are bolted in with no suspension and are, in fact, very comfortable. My only gripe was that they were too low and I developed serious patellar tendinitis. (I have since raised the...

Only ever spent a few days there. (Part of that time was waiting for a new tire from La Paz.) We stayed in a nice hotel a few blocks from the main square. Great fun getting our truck (Isuzu Trooper) into the parking area. Singani sours on the roof top! Beyond the weaving schools there are...

Ask and ye shall receive: https://www.gonewiththewynns.com/composting-toilet (https://www.gonewiththewynns.com/composting-toilet) They produced a ton of videos and went on to install a Nature's Head on their boat. And what am I? Three years of use doesn't count? (And I even have a 917!) The...

This is how you do it, but it takes some big gear: http://www.cloud9ontour.com/2018/03/cloud-9-lives.html And getting the beast running again is not a trivial task - lots of oil and water where they shouldn't be.

Volts are interesting, but can be misleading, amps tell you what is happening in real time, and thus what to expect. In the end you need some form of serious battery monitor. If you are bored, you will find three articles of use on this page: https://diplostrat.org/documents/ Specifically...

Very hard, perhaps impossible, to reply without a lot more data. -- What is the voltage of the Toyota's circuit? When you say it is a 40A circuit, is that because it has a 40A fuse? The real test is the gauge of wire. -- "our Toyota Sequoia charged them just fine (or so I assume" Ahhh, that is...

Plug in the fan or connect the hose to a solar roof vent and the lid won't matter. The essential is that there be negative pressure in the box. That is, the air flows in, not out.

Did you see the old bridge?

Neil, boyo, we are really splitting infinitives! We are certainly using the beasts correctly and they are certainly composting the contents. No you are not going to leave the stuff in the truck for six months to produce final compost, but believe me, the stuff is transformed. FWIW, the Swedish...

No one is claiming to make finished compost in two weeks. You can't ask for a product to do the impossible. You can ask for it to perform as advertised. Everything that I have read indicates that it takes about six months to render human feces completely safe. We are talking about a composting...

You are. He did not empty due to smell, but rather because he had a free source of sawdust. And Coachgeo is right, if he has a vent that is pulling out of the bathroom, as opposed to a fan pulling air INTO the feces box, then he is giving it the acid test. I used to demo our Nature's Head by...

Some interesting comments by a gentleman who rolled his own: Composting Toilet Update So several asked for updates on the homemade composting toilet. I have to say I am really, really pleased with it! It has not been without its learning curve but I’m a fan. The first issue we had was when...

Come over here: https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/forums/power-systems-12v-solar-gen.48/ This stuff gets thrashed all day (and night) long.

Can be a complex issue. For an overland vehicle, I would always go with the biggest, baddest alternator I could get. That could be one big alternator or several smaller ones. The real question, to which Verkstad alluded, above, is whether there is an advantage to a separate...

Air movement sensor! Dude you have too many toys! Of course, you still have that bouquet when you dump. I'll bet it is! The value of knowledge is determined by the cost of gaining it? Would have loved to have observed, from upwind, your experiments! :eek:

Would, if I could, but I can't. the existing space is wide enough, but not deep enough. If you are building from the ground up, incorporate a SOG, or, look closely and see if you could not simply arrange a solar powered exhaust stack.

Very slick! How do you avoid over filling the cassette? I.e. since gravity is free ... ;) "Decanted" Like a fine wine! Friends of ours, recognizing the challenges of a black tank outside the US, use a macerator pump and a long hose. Same system used by the very expensive Advanced RV. Has worked...

I have no personal experience with Espar products or the Rixen implementation. I do know that Tiger gave up on Webasto and went Rixen. (Mine, when sold, was the only Dual Top still installed and working.) The Tiger owner that I know who did have trouble with his Rixen unit reported that the...
