It often surprises folks.

Thanks for the kind words. It was a fun design project.

Thanks Carolyn, it is great vehicle to travel around in or just go out for the weekend when the weather is nice.

Thanks so much for the kind words. I am glad you liked it!

We typically back into the view and then use the French doors to enjoy the scenery. We spend most of our time on the back deck as it is really comfortable and so get the full view. The skylight and connection to the cab add more light. When it gets dark, we close up and rely on the cameras to see what is going on around us. The lack of additional windows has not been an issue for us.

Between the double bagging and the cat litter, as well as the use of a contractor collection bag there is little chance of any problem. I am very careful to throw away the collection bag in a dumpster where noone has to deal with it.

Don't be dumb because ya jealous

Thanks I will give that a try.

Thanks!

Thanks!

It is very tall 13' 3" which has its disadvantages. However, it has an eight foor ceiling which is nice, no wheel wells to work around, substantial space under the truck bed for tanks etc. and full size tires which are more efficient. So pros and cons. Good luck with your build.

@@DrDuze-se5cx the other trucks will have the same size box they have smaller wheels and tires and lower suspension I drive a bucket truck from time to time and is very nerve-wracking cities are supposed to be clear of the height but a big rain or a low branch can still crush the bucket or controls

Not meant to tow the truck; he wanted it for being able to go down steep hillsides (personally, not the truck), say to a lake or river, and have that mechanical assistance in getting back up the hill. (In several trips, we haven't used it yet!)

@@punzelle ohh ok got it!!

Thanks that is very kind of you.

Thanks for the kind words!

I am glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Kristina.

Thanks so much, putting it together felt a little like making the chocolate factory.

?

Thanks Susan that is very kind of you to say.

Too kind, thanks.

We started with a list of things that make us comfortable and built from there. I am glad you liked it.

I enjoyed the process of learning about so many different types of systems. It was a lot of trial and retrial and occasionally try again. 😁

(And his dad was very proud of him)

There is a class of insurance avialable for conversions that is not commercial insurance perhaps lower because of the fewer miles typically driven.

Once converted, as a Rav you should be able to get Rav insurance, rather than commercial. I'm sure the laws differ state to state. 💜💜💜

Thanks! I am not sure if I included the description of how the toilet seat was made so here it is. I unscrewed the seat and cover and switched them so the seat was on top and the solid cover was underneath. Then cut the hole in the cover slightly larger than the seat opening. This lets you hang the bag so the lip is under the seat and does not get soiled. I then added a spring clip made from a piece of steel tension spring from the hardware store. This is attatched to the underside of the seat at the front and clips the two parts of the toilet seat together so the bag does not slip. Good luck with your project!

@@DrDuze-se5cx Thanks for that description, Makes perfect sense. That saves so much money on the fancy toilet systems. I too struggle with cleaning out the toilet. I'm not sure if this system would pass out rules for self-containment here in New Zealand. They are crazy with their rules here.

@@guppynuttynz7729 Perhaps the containment bag being mounted under the truck would make a difference. Not sure, but good luck.

He.

I am glad you enjoyed the video. It took two years to build after I retired. I am still enjoying it, but if I get to the point where I want to sell, I will be glad to let you know.

@@DrDuze-se5cx Thanks! 😊👍

Thanks, i am glad you enjoyed it.

I am glad to offer inspiration! Good luck with your build.

I am so glad you found it interesting and useful.

Thanks
