Installing an Air Head Composting Toilet & Plumbing the Liquid Waste into our Black Tank

We finally installed our Air Head Composting Toilet, with the added feature of plumbing it directly into our black water tank! We used a Hepvo Valve as the main piece of the install inside the bus, which can actually be removed in case we are ever in a circumstance where we need to use the "liquids jug" that came with the Air Head Toilet! All in all, we are VERY pleased with everything about the Air Head. If you're looking for a cost comparison, the Air Head was $69 more than the Nature's Head toilet, and we feel it was worth it for the added features. Kerry loves that it has an actual "seat" instead of having to sit right on the plastic toilet bowl, and Mike loves all the technical features, like the reversible crank handle, the interchangeable hose/screen setup, and the placement of the ventilation fan at the floor!
It won't be long now until we're prepping it for use!

About Us:
Hi! We are Mike & Kerry, the proud owners of a 1992 Bluebird rear engine (pusher), 40' school bus! We named her Bussy McBusface in honor of the RRS Boaty McBoatface travesty!
We're building a Tiny-Home-in-a-Bus for full-time living in the most adventure-friendly way possible! In other words, Bussy will not be parked in our driveway, waiting for weekend or holiday getaways... when we finish the build, we'll be packing everything we're keeping into the bus and driving away from this old house forever!
We plan to be boondocking the majority of the time, so you'll see that reflected in our choices throughout the build (100 gallon water tank, composting toilet, solar power system, etc). We'd love to have you stick around and follow us on our journey, throughout the Skoolie Build, and to Infinite Adventures Beyond!
Mike & Kerry

Excellent Job Folks 👍....... Down the road, may consider cutting the longer pipe below the connection and put in a rubber sleeve to ack as a vibration assembly if any bounces during travel. This rigid connection may be problematic later on and crack the black tank. Something to keep in mind. Or, if the HEPA trap gives any trouble, consider putting the trap outside between the elbow and black tank to have the mess outside when working on it instead in the house. I think some of them are flex traps, and if used outside it will also a vibration unit between the floor and black tank. Many options to do it, depending on your desire. Then, you can put a solid pipe inside that’s adjustable that slides between 2 pipes to fit the connection and be less noticeable. Any and all will work, 👍.

Well done and good idea to connect the toilet to the gray water tank! - I bought an AirHead with the small liquid tank and was very disappointed. I found that the liquid tank can ONLY be attached to the outlet with the spring, if the toilet as a whole can move a little bit UPWARD, so that the tank can slip under the outlet. That means: You can NEVER screw the toilet to the ground really TIGHT. Look at the metal angle! The hole for the winged screw is bigger than the diameter of the screw, so it has always room to move, no matter how hard you ever tighten the screw. - Drive one day on a corrugated road, and the screw will start to loosen and the toilet beginn to hiphop. - Do you drive really rough and bumpy roads, and how is your experience with the fixing? (I have an IVECO Daily 4x4).

My only (tiny) suggestion might be to hit that bit of metal with some either rust type paint or some of that black rustoleum type of goop. I suspect it will start to oxidise almost immediately. It's under the bus, harsh environment etc. Just sayin.

I'm looking to buy/install an airhead, but I'm looking for a way to dump it without carrying it outside. My question is if the compost/agitator breaks down the solids enough to suck through a 2" shop vacuum hose. If I plumb the vent with solid 2" ID PVC pipe, and get a 5 gallon bucket head vacuum, I could remove the vent fan and hook up the vacuum outside. The inside toilet vent hose would be disconnected from the vent/vacuum pipe and a shop vac hose would be installed. The seat of the airhead would be removed, exposing the used compost. The shop vac hose would use to remove the compost. This could evacuate the compost easier, allowing women/ kids to empty. This would also let us dump in locations where carrying out the toilet would be frowned upon. The 5 gallon buckets could be sealed and stored until a good disposal location is available. Also anaerobic composting could continue in the bucket. Yes, the tube could have some deposits, but it would be the vent tube mostly. The shop vac hose could have a carrying container or bag to carry inside and out. It could be stored in the usual septic hose bumper location. Is this possible, or are there large solids that aren't broken down.

Cool and informative video but the cute chica narrating made it the best :) Plumbing to your black tank removes one of the worst annoyances of a composting toliet. I had a C-HEAD with a gallon milk jug collector and it seemed like every fourth or fifth time I had to piss the thing needing dumping. Multiple jugs solves that but who wahts to ride around with ten gallons of piss? 26:52 I think your "water flow" test could have been far more interesting hahahahahahahahaha

Fernco is the brand we use in the South. It fits over the ends of the ABS pipe between the lateral pieces [ one piece glued into each 90% fitting] and spans the gap, is held in place by hose type clamps on each end. It allows you to connect the piping without making it stiff. That creates a vibration free connection that won't cause the threaded joint in the part of the tank you put the threaded adapter in.Your piping AND your tank is isolated.......less leaks and repairs down the line[time]. Just buy the proper size to fit your pipe.ACE has them. www.amazon.com/Fernco-P1056-125-4-Inch-Stock-Coupling/dp/B00077PW22/ref=sr_1_14?crid=Y9F6NPDRGFYW&dchild=1&keywords=fernco+drain+connector&qid=1587264804&sprefix=fernco+connectors%2Caps%2C544&sr=8-14

the peice of pipe sticking up off the floor might interfere with the can you want to put the bottle, catchcan under it to prevent filling the black watertank then again if youre planning to use it when you are at one spot for a while you could setup the catchcan under the bus and ad a small tap under the bus in the line to the blacktank to put it under , keeps the smell out of the bus even if the bottle falls over or overflows might be able to digg a small hole in the ground under the bus and dump straight intoo that (fill it back in when you leave and noone will know)whoooo that isnt alowed whooooooh ..... well if bears and deer can do it so can we as for working under the bus : get a full sheet of melamine or some pieces from a cheap (ikea) bookcase and tape them together to make a bigger sheet , its nice and flat and slippery when you slide over it with youre shirt and pants makes it eazier to move under the bus without rocks poking you in the back , works better then cardboard

@Roobah
@Roobah 3 года назад
The advantage of a black-water tank is insurance companies and DMV registration (as an RV) will ask / expect you to have a black tank installed to your toilet. This way they can honestly say, YES, we have a black tank installed. It would be their choice at that point to just use it as a gray tank only. Don't ask, don't tell. Gets the paperwork done quite easily. Only Mother Nature's Head knows whether or not their black tank is really being used as a black tank or not!

just thought of sumting , if you pee it will replace the water in the waterlock , the peesmell will still get out (even though the lock stops the smell from the black tank ) you need to flush the waterlock through so theres only vinigar water in there every time you do a number 2 stale pee can smell rea\ly bad if you let it sit

The pipe isn't actually attached to the composting toilet. It is attached to the floor. You just lift the top right off. The composting toilet has a spring seal that presses down on the container that comes with the composting toilet. It presses down on the pipe as well.

@BussyMcBusface 4 года назад
No. It's a small pipe and very tough. It will last a long time. Furthermore, the rim of the coupler above the bracket it captured but the hole we drilled and won't move or cause wear to the pipe.

I saw on a later video the urine was blowing out the hepvo valves. Did you ever find a permanent fix other than the ball valve you put in temporarily?
@BussyMcBusface
@BussyMcBusface 2 года назад
Actually, yes. Because Mike knows how to do CAD on the computer he was able to have a custom 3D printed p-trap created. After some further design changes we believe we have a very good solution to this. In fact, we may even market it.

What a crappy video! Lol. The Keeper In-Placer (TM) patent pending was a cool idea. I think I'll steal that for plumbing through the floor. Feel free to send me all the hole saws you have accumulated! I'm sure I'll need those. It's good to see more Mike-Gyver work.

So I guess I am confused to why you have a black tank with a composting toilet? Or did you mean Grey Tank?
@BussyMcBusface
@BussyMcBusface 4 года назад
When we started out, Carrie wanted an actual flushing toilet. Down the line Kerry changed her mind so we decided to keep the tanks as grey tanks.We noticed people were having problems with overflowing the urine containers as well as having to drain them all the time outside. We decided just to Plumb it into our grey tanks so we dont have to empty it all the time.. We call them black tanks now because any time you put human waste into a tank it is a black tank.
