I just watched a video, where each week off-grid, with two people consumes 35 gallons of fresh water. And about 12 gallons of drinking water. Nice to know. This helps builders plan.

I'm now looking for data on the Thetford cassette toilet tank. What size of capacity I need. I have a main and one extra.

I also learned from that video. Rain on composite habitats cause water flow over the entry door. They need a rain gutter. Possibly slightly "V" shaped.

Still working on my slide out tray and staircase (example below)

I estimate the tray will be 42 inches off the ground.

I just watched a video, where each week off-grid, with two people consumes 35 gallons of fresh water. And about 12 gallons of drinking water.

I drink ~6 gal of fluids per week (water, cola, juice, whiskey )... and use about 2 gallons of water and a quart of vinegar for washing myself and dishes. Sponge bathe with a nylon mesh cloth.

The water that someone uses showering can be crazy high. I'd suggest you and the people in your rig practice technique ahead of time.

^My floor height is 42" also. I like that step arrangement much better than the ones sticking straight out. Much safer to have something to hold onto. I just have a single step that folds down though.

With the slide out platform it uses 600lb ball bearing slides.

To build the platform, I found a industrial heavy weight capacity aluminum shelf 24x36 ($69). Used steel 3 x 1/8 angle iron to build a surround frame. Then bought a composite sheet 24 x 36 for the top. ($36)

At some point I will build brackets to attach this to the subframe.

A picture is shown from the bottom.

I noticed a over built step ladder whereas the sales were low due to the competition. It is very stable. I bought it for $199 after a 40% discount sale.

This is where I harvested my stairs case.

As for your air requirements...
Have you considered an engine driven compressor?

These rigs have such a long list of requirements. I have a tendency to look for adequate but less cost intensive solutions. So anything installed seems more than $60.

When building a habitat - The topic of shower / toilet is a challenge

I've see many sizes of wet baths
Separate toilet - shower stalls
Front installed bathrooms
Entry installed wet baths
Side installed wet baths
Toilets stored in cabinets.

Who has preferences? Why?

Still planning the pass through door in the truck cab. Any tips?

 

[gator70]

I bought an extra tank. I need ideas where to store this. Time to plan for this storage.

Time to plan for this storage.

Normally planning is done prior to making purchases.

You've asked this before and suggestions were given.
As suggested previously, asking specific questions will yield better responses than asking generic questions.
Show pictures of YOUR build and detail any specific issues you are encountering.

Best guess for planning (mapping the door on the habitat)- First I need to deal with the rear window

Composting toilet.
Requires emptying in 2-4 weeks instead of 2-4 days.
I will have one of these in our new build..... https://ogotoilet.com.au/ogo-origin-toilet-4/
There are others, but this was my choice.
Cheers,
