      Thanks, but I found this design online (a blog post somewhere do not remember). I liked it cause it is cheap, and it was something I could make myself. So, I tried it.

    I was also outraged by how much money ppl were charging for their toilet systems that were usually just some cheap plastic thing so I got a bucket and a oil funnel and made my own diverter and plumbed it to my grey water tank, pretty easy and I only have to empty it about once every two weeks and it looks way nicer that the bought ones :)

    • @jedics1
      @jedics1 Před 4 lety +11

      @California Guy What is the problem with doing this? I have a 200L grey tank, I estimate about 10L of urine is going into it before it is full, apparently if you dilute urine to 10% with water you can just put it in the garden no problem. So what you call lazy is what I call efficient....and a bit clever.

    You did a FANTASTIC job of making your own. You also clarified a solution for me on the half bucket funnel - simple, cheap, effective. Your ingenuity and creative skills are very high. I also love the fact you refused to pay the extortionary rates for plastic toilets. You can buy a porcelain home toilet for $100 but plastic toy toilets cost $500 - $1200 - outrageous! I feel conned by these toilet makers. The way you have it set up on plastic and the raised platform is all good. Bravo and thank you!

      For my make shift bidet I use a new chemical pump sprayer. I have only used just water n maybe a drop of hand soap. Works well n if I need the water a little warmer I use a heating pad for a couple of minutes so it doesn't feel like a polar bath. Lol

    Thank you for posting this! I have been going back-and-forth about what kind of toilet to get for my van when I go full-time, but honestly some of the do it yourself designs are very complicated and the directions are not clear in the video. I had just about given up on the whole composting toilet idea, despite the fact that I would like to leave as little “trash behind“ as possible. Like you, I hate the idea of spending $700-$1200 on a toilet! But this seems very doable and I really really thank you!❤️

      @Bob Davidson it's in there in such a way that your suggestion won't work.
      Additionally, it's too low for my knees to deal with. I'd rather remove the old, very dirty one and build something I am comfortable using.
      Thanks for your suggestion, though.

Definitely cant aford to buy a prebuilt one, and even the DIY ones had expensice components like the urine diverter. I keep seeing them for over 100 dollars. I'm so glad you posted this video and glad I found it! I would also love an update on how satisfied you are with this build or if you had to make any adjustments!

      Well, since I finished building, that was when everything closed down. I have used the tolet when out running errands, because I did not want to use the restroom in the stores. I love that I have that option. Hopefully I can take some short close by trips soon.

    Simple and effective. I’ll be making something similar. I’d fit the urine diverter to the lid thats lifted up to empty the loo. This would mean there wouldn’t be anything riveted to the bucket, making it possible to use biodegradable bags to line bucket to either bag each deposit individually (dog poo bags) or use as a composting loo with bigger bags. This would make emptying far less unpleasant as all you’d need to do is tie up the top of the bag to seal it, carry the bucket with bag still inside to the dumpster and tip it in. I’d want a lid on the poo bucket to keep the flies out and the smells in, especially when driving as a commuter fan doesn’t stand a chance of overcoming the draft caused by traveling at 70mph.
