A vinegar bottle works great in the toilet with the johnny urine diverter. Also, you can cut a slit in the front to see how full the vinegar bottle is. We had that set up in our 5th wheel and didn't use the fan in it. Worked great and didn't smell. Put a little vinegar in the urine bottle....no smell ever. Also, spray the diverter with water vinegar solution. Pete moss over each poop and never any smell.

Yes my mom Only cleans her toilet with vinegar. In Germany, you can buy a whole cleaning series based on vinegar for kitchen for floors the bathroom really good for the environment

@deeXswanson 2 года назад

love it ,you may want to seal the inside with something like flex seal just for easy clean up and it would keep any spills out of the wood ,just a thought ,loving the build

@TheHiveDrive 2 года назад

Hey thank you! We actually out several coats of polycrylic on it to seal it for that reason. It almost feels like glass/plastic now.

@vsav331 2 года назад

*Great video, tfs!!!* This model has a nicer look to it than the 'boxes' & makes it much easier to put anywhere ya need to. I'm having a MAJOR plumbing issue (?) & live in an RV full time, so I think I'm gonna do exactly what you did but seal off my the main toilet source, etc. Additionally, this will save me a ton of $$$. Good luck to the two of you on your bus conversion - I've seen some done that are just AMAZING! Happy Camping to yous from the East Coast of the U.S.! ~Peace✌🏽

@TheHiveDrive 2 года назад

Ah that would be great! Yes we love it we are however changing out our diverter, we didn’t love it. The toilet build and shape is great the diverter just wasn’t. Well good look hope you get those plumbing issues all worked out! Thanks for watching!

@intentsglampingtx 7 месяцев назад

I'm glad I found your video! I like the more refined/commercial look of rhis design; and that's what I've seeking without the high cost! I'll be building one in the coming weeks.

@TheHiveDrive 7 месяцев назад

Ah that’s great! We’ve been using ours over a year now and love it! It’s been great! I’d recommend Compost Throne Diverter too! That was a game changer!

@glamptribe Год назад

Great job! Lovely design

@mr.chisels729 Год назад

Great job on the kerfing and forming! Good use of the clamping cauls also. I would recommend a couple of small modifications to the build in the future. I would start by using a 2 part epoxy. The stability and strength of the bend will be increased significantly by using epoxy. I would also suggest using a laminate instead of paint to give the ultimate finished look. Otherwise, awesome work!!

@SethandJoncee 2 года назад

Love it! We will be making a similar one soon. Thanks for the inspiration!!

@TheHiveDrive 2 года назад

Thanks you guys! And that’s awesome, we’re so happy with how it turned out, let us know if you have any questions and can’t wait to see it!!

@Vasergio81 Год назад

Excellent design!

@annamike-ebeye9751 Год назад

Omg that looks amazing!!!!

@TheHiveDrive Год назад

Thank you! We love it! We ended up switching out the diverter for a throne diverter and it’s now perfect!

@TheHiveDrive 2 года назад

Oh it’s so true! I’ve learned so many things that I’ve never done during this bus build! It’s amazing! Cheers to you guys 🍻

@tybell8899 2 года назад

@ a minimum, I would fiberglass the entire inside of the toilet. I would fiberglass ALL of it making it waterproof & easy to clean! Well worth the time & effort..

@TheHiveDrive 2 года назад

The polycrylic has sealed it and made it waterproof, also the toilet is really just the casing for Johnny compost system which is all plastic and easy to clean. 🤙

You are really good with that saw! I would have to use a guide for my saw.

@sabrinawoodard5788 8 месяцев назад

I love it!! I would love to build it but not the most handy woman! Anybody else rebuild it?

@2AZSUN 2 года назад

Who knew building a toilet could be so interesting and you tube worthy?? Great job building that pot, Scott. Sorry that rhymes...Good to see it all came together well and it's serving it's purpose for you.Now that you're a few months out and have been going about your business with it, are you still pleased as punch with it??

@TheHiveDrive 2 года назад

Yes we love it! We have still yet to divert it to a tank so once we do that it will be even better!

@rangerdanger88 2 года назад

Great job. Just so you are clear, the medium helps dry out the solids but composting takes a long time for it to become "just soil." As such....the term, "composting toilet" is a bit misleading. Enjoy!

@TheHiveDrive 2 года назад

Hey thanks! Oh yeh for sure, however all the components of it will become soil, so if we bury it in the ground it will all decompose into soil after about a year.

@rickeydenler2385 Год назад

It takes 6 months for poop to compost but the idea in nice nice build a valve on the urine diverter and a spray bottle to use after pee would take care of urine odor

@TheHiveDrive Год назад

Oh for sure but it turns none the less, and yes we installed a spray bidet for that reason and it works great 👍🏼

@cyracuskenneth1865 Год назад

Thanks for sharing.....what kinda plywood is that?

@elsuperpollo2273 Год назад

I like this design I just wouldn't both putting a urine diverter, maybe a computer fan and vent only

@MarissaAtkins-wc9xg Год назад

Hi, this is awesome! Going to be building one in the next few days! I was wondering, how did you decide how many slits to put into the wood and what spacing did you use?

@TheHiveDrive Год назад

Hey I got the template from @modernhousecabin they sell a template for like 10$ it’s well worth the purchase.

@r8edrv4fun65 Год назад

Nice work. Have you been happy with non-churned compost? I've built one and trying to figure out how to mix the mulch.

@TheHiveDrive Год назад

Hey we honestly have loved it! We layer compost on top after every use so we go through compost and have to empty faster than if you had a churner but it’s worked great for us.

@chezreagan1903 2 года назад

Looks good. Would like to make one. Do you have dimensions? How thick the plywood? Spacing of the 59 cuts? How tall? How wide? Where did you buy the bucket kit? Are there plans? Do you intend to install a detachable mixing bail?

@TheHiveDrive 2 года назад

Hey thanks so much. We love it. However we are looking at switching out our urine diverter we don’t love it. We used Johnny compost system. For the dimensions etc i can’t remember I bought the plan from @modernhousecabin and it was perfect!

@henryanderson7606 11 месяцев назад

Great job! Just wondering where you purchased the urine diverter??

@TheHiveDrive 11 месяцев назад

Hey we got it off Etsy but we switched it out, I’d recommend compost throne diverter it’s perfect!

@AM-ou1wt 2 года назад

Hello- How is it working for you? I think the answer to that is incredibly important. I can find its of builds but no further information on how these things are working long term for the DIY. Thanks for any updates.

@TheHiveDrive 2 года назад

Hey honestly it been good, however we are switching out to diverter. The Johnny compost system just wasn’t working for us. The way it was set up we just didn’t feel like we could “go” normally, it’s like we had to be careful to make sure the fluids didn’t splash back into the composting area.

@thathippiefamily 2 года назад

Hey great video! I love a good compost toilet video haha. I have made a few on my channel. My question for you is how will you be connecting to your grey water system? We connected our composting toilet and built a pee trap. But I'm wondering if that's necessary or if there is another way of doing it? Whats your plan there?

@TheHiveDrive 2 года назад

Hey there! Our current plan to use a Hepvo Waterless Waste Valve it acts like a p-trap but with a membrane instead of using water.

@vsav331 2 года назад

I actually just today heard of Kildwick brand [urine separator for compost toilets]. Idk if it works any btr than the other, I'm just beginning my journey into toilet research 😂🤣 & what works best for me. Just an fyi.

@HOPEbus 2 года назад

Sooo for short term ….. who “job” is it going to be to empty the jug 😳🤔 Lol

@TheHiveDrive 2 года назад

Haha! That would be mine (scott) 😂

@phillbradshaw7190 10 месяцев назад

Good vid but, anything from the toilet, solid or liquid is black water. Grey is from sink or shower

@TheHiveDrive 10 месяцев назад

Unless you pee in the shower 😉 😂

@josequantro57 2 года назад

This is a very good tutorial on how to build a composting toilet. My question ,how do you hygenically clean your hands after using the loo in this situation?

@TheHiveDrive 2 года назад

Hey thanks so much. We have a regular sink in our bathroom in order to wash our hands just like normal.

@c50ge 2 года назад

Who gets to use it first?

@TheHiveDrive 2 года назад

Haha! Scott got to use it first!!! 😆
