My first thought on toilet position would be facing the back to the front of the van. That way if you gotta do an emergency poop while driving, and you brake a lil hard, your weight would go into the seat rather than risk sliding off. Don't want poo van! Looking great, though!

Brian, it may be too late, but installing a conduit pipe behind your major units will help later if you need to repair electrical lines or add circuits.
@ozmanfidaar6311
@ozmanfidaar6311 9 месяцев назад
Nice build. For future builders, I'd consider separating toilet from shower. It's easier to pull out toilet, less stuff to mess with a small space. My 2 cents.
@LifeontheBlacktop
@LifeontheBlacktop 9 месяцев назад
I originally didn't want them together but with limited storage space, it ended up making more sense to put it in the shower. So far it's been great though. We don't take it out to shower. And there are those times where I'm glad I don't have to pull it out of a cabinet to use it quickly 🤣💩
@Wind.Road.Therapy
@Wind.Road.Therapy Год назад
Like where you guys are putting the toilet. That's a nice heating unit. When you are in a campground, a plug in unit might help; this way it works off of the campgrounds electricity and not your gas. That could save you some money along the way. That's what I do to save on propane. 👊🏼
@LifeontheBlacktop

You’re going to love that composting toilet. Looks like a Natures Head. I had one in my sailboat when I was a live aboard and it was incredible. No smell and no black water pump out issues. I bought another for my Ambo conversion. Good choice for a heater as well. Eberspacher might be expensive but it’s worth it. We installed an Airwave in the Ambo as a backup but I will have Eberspacher hydronic as my primary heat source. Your shower build intrigued me. I’m looking for places in the Ambo where I could build something similar, but if I do it will be a later upgrade. For now I’ll be using an outdoor shower tent assembly. Good video.

I rode in 40 degrees here in NY today along the lakeshore of Lake Ontario . To be able to crawl into your own van with instant heat , food ,shower , and toilet after a ride like that will be worth every swear word , loss of blood , literal tears , and nest egg expenditures of time and money one hundred percent . You are doing a great job and I see the time and thought you’ve put into everything for layout and the quality of materials . Hope to run across you somewhere , I’ll be the stiff old man in a tent lol

It’s completely water-less. What moisture does get in the bowl will be dried out by the fan. That being said, we haven’t used it yet so we will see haha

You might want to drill a hole or 2 in the bottom of the pee jug holder if you are going to shower with it in there so it doesn’t fill up with water. I think you would be happier taking it out to shower cuz you’ll probably have to squeegee the water to the drain (Especially if you are not level when parked).
@LifeontheBlacktop

Pretty good idea, I will probably end up doing that!

Links added to the description! There is a non-promaster specific kit but this is the one we used. There is also a shorter turret available (30mm compared to the 60mm we got) if you have a thinner subfloor.

How does the heater work in higher elevations, over 8,000’ to 12,000’?? Thanks.
@LifeontheBlacktop
@LifeontheBlacktop 10 месяцев назад
Unfortunately I dont know yet. It has a built in altitude adjuster but that doesn't mean it will work in those elevations. I will probably find out early next year. Velit camping makes one they claim thats tested to 17,000 (I think) and we were originally going to use that but they kept pushing the release date back. Its out now though so maybe its something to check into if youll be frequenting the higher elevations.
