    DIY Portable Toilets

    The website that has another way of making your own DYI urine diverting toilet is found at http://dennisdonohue.blogspot.ca/2013/ I found some of his ideas great and I certainly used some of them.  I hope you find it useful too. Elaine K

    DIY Portable Toilets

    I must apologize.  In my last post, when editing it, I somehow managed to delete  your name but kept the quote!  I have no idea how I messed up.  So sorry!

    DIY Portable Toilets

    Elaine, where did you get the plastic piece for the urine collection?  It's shaped just right for this application.  It's worth saying a second time, your build is really awesome, and at a fraction of what it would cost to buy a C-head. I bought them at a medical supply place.  They are the...

    DIY Portable Toilets

    Almost there,  I have to thank you for your wonderful van build.  After seeing the video Bob had aired of your van build, that cinched my decision to go ahead and try to do it on my own too.   Also, it was seeing your C-Head that lead me to designing my DYI version.  Down the road, I do plan to...

    Greetings from the Pacific Northwest!

I am so glad you decided to stay with your class C and didn't buy newer.  With some work and a...

    Building Arabella

    Thanks for posting pictures.  This what I plan to make in my van too.  Pictures really help to see how to do it.  Based on your experience using the Kregg tool, I bought one for myself.  How did I live without one all these years!  So much easier to fit cabinets together.   Wish I had of used...

    Learning and making it up as I go

    After years of caregiving,  I am now free to be able to do something for just me!  It was privilege to look after both my husband and my father but it burnt me out emotionally and physically.   I bought myself a used 2010 GMC cargo van to camperize after watching You Tube videos of so many who...
