Thanks for sharing how to make your own screens! Some years ago, I tried repairing aluminum framed screens and just messed it up horribly. It may have been due to my trying to save money and cut the screen material too small. Live and learn. I also did not know about stretching the cording that holds in the screen. Next time will be better thanks to you!

Not a "composting toilet" in any way. Throwing human waste into the garbage system is not good. A traditional waste system for RVs using sanitary dump stations is 100 percent better than this. Your philosophy is out of sight out of mind. Bad idea and illegal. I live in Alaska off grid and use a true composting toilet system and it works perfectly with a positive environmental impact. I recommend anyone interested in a true sanitary composting system to buy a book called "The Humanure Handbook" by Joseph Jenkins. Works.

Thanks for sharing your DIY compost toilet ideas. This is a very good design. I saw something similar years ago but lost the link to it, so your video is perfect. I love the two side compartments for storage, too. How did you decide on the height for the wooden enclosure? The only thing missing is a rack for reading material. ☺️

I was thinking of an idea of like an electric dumper for your two soiled water tanks and a some gauges to monitor the volume in your clean water tank and your two soiled water tanks. But I think on the front, you might have room for a gauge to monitor your clean water tank volume but I guess you would want to have two other gauges above you that would monitor the volume in your two soiled water tanks equipped with some alarms, and two dumper switches on the switch panel.

One thing you may want to consider is that in many places it is illegal to dispose of feces in the garbage.

all good except you use a plastic bag to collect to make it easier on yourself and contribute to pollution and plastic use as well as you then just toss your waste in the trash... cmon man... ! it's called a composting toilet because you compost the waste..

I've been watching a lot of these videos. Your divertor toilet bowl, seems to have a bigger solids hole. My question is, what do you do if it doesn't all go down the hole? Scrape it? Can you wash it down with water or does that make it too wet?

"Put the bag in the trash"! Isn't the idea of a composting toilet that the waste is composted?

Okay, it's a decent toilet and cheap, but no, not as good as professionally made and designed toilets. No view screen or trap door means you stare at poop every time you take a pee. Guys will have to sit on this unit. No agitation means the waste will not really have broken down. Adding organic material every time is messy, dramatically reduces capacity, and can introduce insects.

I like your design, looks good. But you lost me at the bag. A composting toilet makes sense if you compost the solids. After 6-12 months (depends on your climate), you have good fertilizer and you haven't added to the landfill problem by disposing of bags of waste. A trash can or wheelie bin is a perfectly good composter. Add a vent near the top, and a handful of worms once it is nearly full. Leave it, then use the perfectly good compost as fertilizer after you wait for 12 months.

Very thorough explanation Sir. Well done. One idea for you....hot glue a small shim to bottom of your urine bottle to angle it in the direction you need for a perfect alignment to the tube coming down.

Thanks for this video. Q: Is the fan designed to suck air from the entire "box"? It looks like you raised the floor of the peat moss enclosure to allow that. And, is the air intake simply the gap between the toilet seat and lid?

Hello Mike. Yes the fan is designed to suck the air out of the entire "box. And yes the air intake is the gap you mentioned. Hope that helps!

I think those 2 small wires on the shunt are to connect to the monitor. The temp connection is a single terminal that goes directly on the negative battery terminal.

Two Things: 1) don't use peat moss because of its taken from moors what is not supposed to happen these days - sawdust will do (no one needs to/will start a compost from this sh**t). 2) Kildwick is not Kildwick as known anymore - now the diverters are made of polypropylene - the classic sturdy ones with special surface finish are still made by the girls of "Strumpet and Trollop" in the original workshop formerly known as Kildwick.
@SoulfulBusLife Жыл бұрын
Hi Tom. Thank you for your comment. In the video description you will see that we stopped using peat moss very quickly. In our first year of bus life we learned more about peat moss and switched to coconut coir. Sawdust doesn't work as well to cover odors which is why we didn't use it but you are right that this isn't being truly composted. The Kildwick diverter was the only/best one we could find when we did our build nearly 5 years ago. I believe there are more options out there now since so many more people have moved into bus/van life. The link we have in the description still works and at least gives someone a starting point for when they are looking for their supplies. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Maybe possible for you to have the urine container nailed safely on the wall outside ? If so, you would eliminate much odor! And maybe a larger urine container? For my similar toilet ( also use eco bags wrapped in a bucket placed in another bucket, for the brown stuff, doesn't get messy at all...) For the urine I made a hole in my wall and the hose for the urine leads to an outdoor container. But: During winter your indoor concept might be better, when cold, the "plumbing" through the wall might freeze. I have to use defrosting cables...so I envy your solution this time of the year :) Your toilet looks very nice, thank you for sharing!
