<P>Well folks, pretty much all done.&nbsp; Started a blog and all the pictures are on there.&nbsp; If I figured out this forum, the link should be in my signature.</P>

<P>Feeling like a dummy for overcomplicating it.&nbsp; Had an epiphany of how to make this super simple.&nbsp; Pictures&nbsp;in the near future.</P>

<P>I have 2 5 gallon coleman jugs (fresh water and grey water), slab of MDF, stainless steel mixing bowl, drain, hand pump,&nbsp;and the appropriate tubing.&nbsp; I have realized that my coleman jugs were not the best bet.&nbsp; Do any of you have a similar setup?&nbsp; How did you do it?</P>

<P>Cyndi, love the Savage quote.&nbsp; Well played.</P>

You can dump dirty water safely.&nbsp; You need to use biodegradable soap without weird crap in it (try Dr. Bronner's), and add a drop or two of bleach before dumping to kill bacteria.&nbsp; 50 Gallons seems excessive though.&nbsp; My suggestion would be something closer to a rubbermaid and a 5...

<P>Bri, how rad is that thing?&nbsp; So lightweight and compact, yet you can have actual coffee as long as you can boil water.</P>

<P>That is actually pretty close to life size lol</P>

<P>Whooooaaaaa....sorry for the giant image.</P>

<P>I went the route of not worrying at all about weight, not sure I am glad I made that decision or not....time will tell.&nbsp; I made a supfloor with trap doors for storage using 2x4s and MDF.&nbsp; There are pictures in a thread in the "Conversion Progress" section if you want to see.&nbsp...

<FONT size=4>@Freenez2</FONT><BR><FONT size=4>What is the power draw for that thing?&nbsp; DC or AC?</FONT><BR>

1oleman:<br>What is giving you trouble in using your TV as a computer monitor?&nbsp; You should only need an S-Video cable.<br>

<P>Thanks Bob, I looked up some equations and that was the second calculation I came up with.&nbsp; Glad I sorted it out, no crock pot for me.&nbsp; No solar panels so the Road Pro is probably not a good idea either.</P>

<P>Funny you should mention this, I am set to buy a cheap stainless steel pressure cooker off of Craigslist.&nbsp; Seems like the right way to go for me.&nbsp; Slow Cooker just uses too much power by my standards.</P>

Hmm...How bad does it drain your starter battery?&nbsp; Ever have any problems?<br><br>I think I have given up on the crock pot.&nbsp; Think I will go for a pressure cooker and maybe that Road Pro or something similar.<br>

<P>I have seen those but have heard they do not work well.&nbsp; Plus, it is my understanding that at 12 volts all heating elements tend to struggle.&nbsp; At 120 volts and 120 Watts seems great, but I feel like I am doing math wrong somehow.</P>
