    Composting Toilets: Legal?

    FUTURE SOLUTION FOR MOBILE COMPOSTERS? First, someone asked me to post the information source, I have been doing that but here is the main site that I will be discussing: https://eco-sense.ca/ Ann and Gord are deep into the composting setups for tiny homes and even larger business size...

    Composting Toilets: Legal?

    maki2 asked why worry about the composting toilet or separated toilet waste dump into trash cans where animals can carry away some of it and spread it around. Because it is dangerous to society and can be deadly. Getting into the ground water is also bad. That's part of the advance of...

    The job of camp host should not be only about a place to park your RV for free

    I can pay $20-$35 a night at a campsite and have a variety of experiences from fantastic to no sleep from drunk neighbors. Usually it's the first. I can pay over $1,000 a month for a house where there are people having roofs put on and hammers going all day, horns honking, fire truck sirens -...

    Composting Toilets: Legal?

    Cammalu your article seems to lend to the fact that this is a stationary homestead use and NOT mobile where you have no system to dispose properly of the waste. Thanks for posting. Here is a video and interview of an expert who does not discuss mobile but it is clear mobile is not the way to...

    Composting Toilets: Legal?

    I found one useful link to add here: This ABC news story was posted by Roxanne Taylor Media in 2016: It discusses the advantages of saving water by using a composting toilet over a traditional one. It does not appear to be in the US and it does not state where. Note that it was stated...

    Composting Toilets: Legal?

    I just watched a video put out by Dustin Dean who has a composting toilet in his RV.  He was approached in Utah by two individuals who read them into that Utah law (he was in Utah) says composting toilets are illegal in living premises in the state of Utah. I have been expecting to start seeing...

    I GOT A BREVILLE SMART OVEN AIR !!!! & power question

    I did a long reply to this thread but it got lost and not posted so I will retry. No solar, I like setting temp and knowing cook time. Have propane oven/stovetop/grill for boondocking and will have this electric oven for hookup times. We will add 50 amp service for that. We periodically get...

    Retired and thinking travel trailer

    If you are new to trailers be sure to check the Cargo Carry Capacity, or CCC of each trailer. I've seen some with as low as 550 lbs. CCC which means you can almost bring nothing (water is 8.34 pounds per gallon, add food, toys, etc.). So first figure out what your needs are. Great on the...

    I GOT A BREVILLE SMART OVEN AIR !!!! & power question

    Thank you so much for the reply, Jim. I just finished the layout and have started the list of electrical. Everything is being weighed, I am balancing the weight also. What is and is not going keeps changing as I decide I need to whittle down more, it's an ongoing process that is almost at the...

    I GOT A BREVILLE SMART OVEN AIR !!!! & power question

    Jim, I need to get AGM batteries because they will be inside the trailer - there are no bays.  I will box them and vent them via holes to the outside.  What kind of set up do you think I should get re the # of batteries and size?  Any brands you recommend?

    I GOT A BREVILLE SMART OVEN AIR !!!! & power question

    So far it looks like I can use it when I am hooked up to electricity. I am thinking 2 hours the entire day, not at once. So cut that to approximately 1 hr. at a time between battery charges. Next, I don't yet have my solar or batteries, I am now making my notes as to what I will run, # of...

    I GOT A BREVILLE SMART OVEN AIR !!!! & power question

    :heart: :heart: :heart: i watched a couple days worth of everything I could about air fryers and small ovens.  If you are looking for a small RV electric oven and don't mind the investment price watch the youtubes on this baby.  Slow cooks, roasts, bakes, broils, toasts, air frys, proofs bread...

    is it a cargo trailer?

    Mine is pretty air tight when closed up but we are going to add windows and a fantastic fan vent. I am packing as though I can take it if it fits and then I'll stop and weigh it and see if I really can. I think so, more than I thought I was going to when I first started but time will tell I...

    is it a cargo trailer?

    Cargo Trailer conversion. I once saw something posted on what is considered an RV but I've long forgotten that list or what it said but I think it was all the typical systems in a house such as plumbing, fresh/grey/black tanks and such. For purposes of this group no one cares if it is off the...

    I Pack Rain Boots

    I think we had these as kids.   Vans are just turn the key.  Sometimes we will have the trailer unhitched or just need to bring stuff in and walk around the campsite before leaving.  So if it's muddy I don't want to mess up my good shoes so rainboots or snowboots or overshoes or waterproof...
