What about toilet facilities in your expedition truck,what are your plans?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
His plans parallel my pretty closely. I know I'm going to have a good size shower and toilet. I'm pretty sure he is planning on both as well.What about toilet facilities in your expedition truck,what are your plans?

My Heartland Sundance has a full shower, pretty nice too. And to tell you the truth having only 8 gal of hot water limits the showers. Most of the campgrounds we've used have shower facilities. So it hardly gets used.I'm with you there on those plans, I was planning a bathroom 4.5'x5' with all the comforts of home. The bathroom is what I miss most when I'm out ruffing it for any length of time.
I feel exactly the same way. After a day of doing... whatever outside noting feels better than a nice warm shower.I'm with you there on those plans, I was planning a bathroom 4.5'x5' with all the comforts of home. The bathroom is what I miss most when I'm out ruffing it for any length of time.
LOL.. Good thing. It would old pretty quickly if it did!So I will say nothing is firm or decided upon as of yet. I will have to have a water tank as it never rains every day.
And that my friend is EXACTLY why I am buinding what I'm building...I was thinking about the the five days I spent at the Ga rally sleeping in the back of my friends m109 freezing my a$$ off and having to walk a country mile across the street for a shower and ,using those portilets in the middle of the night,ugh. Next Ga rally I should be all set to be comfortable.
That composting toilet seems to be a great idea. No need for a black water tank. What do these cost?I was actually thinking along the lines of a composting toilet.

As my intention is to camp where others are not I have to be self sufficient. Which means collecting rain water and disposing of my waste without the aid of a filling station/dump facility.
I've been doing a fair amount of research over at;

$850 and they are made in the USThat composting toilet seems to be a great idea. No need for a black water tank. What do these cost?
I was making a funnyNot always I can think of a few people that are the problem because they lack understanding of the system. Without them the system would work perfectly...
Actually I had thought about the pre-made tub/shower enclosure with walls, it sounds like a really great idea... Except....Amen brother! I think a full size tub with shower might be a good option,lowes sells a fiberglass one with encloser that would work just fine. That way if push comes to shove,you could heat water over a fire and take a hot bath,like they did in the old west before electricity.the lady's would like it too!
This summer I'm building my own Big-Dumb-camper-trailer out of an M36 bed.The approach takes your gray water (typically shower and sink water), filters it, pressurizes it, then uses it to flush your toilet thereby saving fresh water and removing water from your gray tank. The end result is each toilet flush empties your gray tank a little leaving more space for showers.
yea dont want those to break that would be a crappy situationThe weak link is the RV storage tank market. They're all plastic & I don't trust that for an off-road expedition vehicle.
Plastic can be far superior to steel and aluminum given the fact that it's flexible. It's all about the correct kind of plastic. For example High-Density Cross-Linked Polyethylene tanks are 20 times stronger than steel. They have no welds or seams thus they will not split/crack when twisted or stressed they are also 5 times more resistant to punctures. HDCLP is what Titan fuel tanks are made out of.I'm skeptical about using plastic RV tanks for my camper trailer. I might have to weld up my own & shell out the bucks for some stainless. But, I guess that gives me a good excuse for a TIG welder.
If I have my fresh & black tanks the same size then I won't have to worry about overfilling the black tank.
