Crazy toilet idea

[Clayton]

Has anyone ever had just a toilet but with no black water tank, just a hole in the floor and a bucket on the ground under the bus?

[GreyCoyote]

Is it just me, or are the crickets kinda loud in here?

I think you'll find that an open container that has body fluids in it will be seriously frowned upon by the health authorities. And we wont talk about the potential for juvenile mischief...

Do they even allow trains to dump straight on the tracks anymore????

Please tell me you're not serious.

You can attach a three inch stinky slinky to a bayonet fitting at the bottom of the toilet, so you can be hooked up at a park, if your boondocking you can move the hose to a sewage tote, when time to move detach hose, dump your sewage tote, or unhooked from you site, put the hose away and off you go. It will work great if you are at a place with full hook ups, but would be a pain to empty a tote.

i built an make shift composting toilet.

i built it. 32 in wide by 21 in length by 21 in high.
i used a tub from walmart think it was 32 qts
an ice fishing auger(sans blades)
a toilet seat
oil funnel
3/8th bolt
2 3/8ths washers

tools i used were:
wood screws
drill
hole saw kit
3/8th thread bit

i built the box as normal but mounted the forward bracing 2x4 under to brace instead of the normal situation. i did this to create a lip.

second stage is placing the auger into the tub. you can mount it to the otherside of the tub after you create threads for a bolt inside the center piece of the auger. place a washer on the outside and inside of the tub. test the spin if the auger, if acceptable place the tub inside the framing. mark out where the auger "handle" will extend outwards. take out the tub from the frame. at this time you can add an external vent from the side attached to the wall or plan a vent via a 3 inch flex tube. now encase the three sides and hinge the top portion of the structure. the key to a composting toilet is keeping your pee out. now cut a hole for the toilet seat. i choose a 19 in long seat it worked best for me. take the funnel from the dollar store and cut off the handle. mount this to the lip in some fashion, i just wedge it in between the lip and the top potion of wood myself. now follow the extend hose to about 6-8 inches down. on a 45 degree angle use the hole saw to make an opening for you funnel exit. you can attach several different types of clear containers to the front. secure it with screws (left and right side of container) and a bungie cord allowing for easy emptying.

lay a layer of coconut core down and starting doing your business. right now the design is solely for men. unless you female companions have good aim. im working on the idea for women to be able to comfortably be able to use the facilities as well. I am also curious if anyone would be interesting in buying them if i made them, well the tub portion lol.

it was about 170 for everything, wood and so forth.

That sounds like a fantastic idea. Give it a try and let us know how it works out!

This thread is definitely Zaphod-approved.

Sadly, this is actually what some of the low level trucks on the road seem to be doing according to a friend that works at a truck repair shop, only without the bucket. A truck came in for warranty and once they found what all that crusted stuff was on the frame, they reported it and then denied warranty and put the VIN# on a national computer system of some sort. My friend said just walking by the truck it about made him vomit.
That is not substantiated, but the story was told to me and this thread brought to light that some people are thinking of such a system, so......

You SHOULD do this, AND screw a funnel to the wall and have a hose running out of the side also. Thats such an easy mod, I'd put one near the driver's seat as well. No time to stop, no problem....

Just make sure the hose exits the wall pointed towards the back of the bus. If it's angled toward the front, it'll be like peeing into a blow dryer.

Once upon a time I had a working Thermasan; they're amazing. I could fill the black tank up 75% or so during a stay and then just drive 200-300 miles on the freeway and my black tank would be nearly empty. I literally used the RV an entire season without once emptying the black tank.

...I never thought much of it until I stopped and got fuel once after a long hot drive with it operating. I think the wind was blowing the wrong direction. Ugh.

Sounds like an interesting yet shady device. But lets be honest; anyone who claims they are from BRC sounds like an interesting yet shady device as well!!

A bucket is for ametours!

You should really class it up by first digging a post hole to drop the stinky slinky hose-from-toilet into. Then after a few days you dig a new hole about 12" away from the previous. You can do that several times, like up to a week or even two before you need to move the bus so you can go again.

Sure, I might be shady but the Thermasan isn't!

And since we're on the topic of 'better' toilet solutions this is something I've been considering for quite some time: https://incinolet.com/

I suggest this book to anyone interested in the subject-
