    CONGRATS 💪 to Humble-Road for gravitating to these more simple and elegant (hassle-free) toilet systems... Whew ❗ Yet another example of George's wisdom....

    • @robmagu65
      @robmagu65 Год назад +1

      Simple and elegant? It's a glorified bucket. I looks 'gross' when it's empty, imagine when it's full and your carrying a bucket of 'sh!t' to the campground bathroom. This is not anywhere close to hassle free.

    • @LJ-jq8og
      @LJ-jq8og Год назад +1

      @@robmagu65 Wow... As someone who has USED every high-end system that exists, including natures-head, and class A motorhome fixed toilets... It is apparent to me that you obviously "don't get it"...
      AFTER you have personally attempted to CLEAN and maintain all those expensive (pun intended) POS 💩systems only then come back and express an "informed" opinion to us...
      Good luck Rob...

      @lisakuehn6436 Год назад +2

      I agree. I use something similar but it doesn’t separate 1&2 so I will budget to upgrade. I like this one. I usually only camp for 2-3 days at a time.

    • @gregoire8376
      @gregoire8376 Год назад +1

      My wife won't get near any RV of any model or class with a cassette or "more elegant" equivalent toilet.
      5 or so gallons of anything is also pretty heavy and cumbersome to lift and pour into another container, without spilling a drop!!

  • @bwbrady8372
    @bwbrady8372 Год назад +7

    I know from two years experience in our van that it’s better to have the head of the bed on the driver side (where the tall, deeper cabinets are) because:
    1. If you ever need to park and sleep at a curb, think about how roads always slope.
    2. If one person is in bed sleeping and the other person is up (sitting on one of the swivels) with a light on, the sleeping person’s head is tucked behind the tall cabinet, away from the light.
    3. When the person on the rear side of the bed has to get up in the night, it’s a little easier to climb over (and around) their partner’s legs, than over their mid section.
    $5-600 for a plastic bin masquerading as a toilet, is just as crazy as $1300 for a Nature’s Head. Especially when you can buy a porcelain flushing toilet and a black tank for under $350. Totally worth the extra plumbing, IMO.
    I’d choose the chain rather than the pullout support because of the space lost inside that cabinet.
    All that said, as always, George’s vans are works of art. Beautiful!

    Windows are my friends!

Each and every one is so ridiculously perfect...I can't decide!!! Thanks for making it so difficult for me! 🤣

    Good morning George
    The preplanning you do for future access is AWESOME!
    And here's a thought for the shower curtain, have rings large enough to pass over the connection point in the middle of the support rod, slide the rings on half the rod and then join them together. 🤔

    @tug1345 Год назад +20

    I like how, on the kitchen counter you made use of the recess in the side of the Transit van, giving useful extra width or depth to the counter top, it's another great looking build George, I can see why you have a backlog or waiting list for builds, they're all quality and well equipped with useful amounts of power from solar,batteries and alternator, some van builders undersize those meaning too much reliance on campsites, the ability to camp anywhere is a real luxury

    • @HumbleRoad

    • @OMGWTFLOLSMH
      @OMGWTFLOLSMH Год назад

      Although the execution was top notch, I wasn't a fan of the pull out seat and pull out table support at the end of the cabinet. That is a ton of wasted space that could otherwise be used for storage. I'd be good with a telescopic pole to support the table.

    A+ for this creation, how about “outdoor roll down retractable patio sun shades” for the outdoor shower curtain, one on each door just like you have the shower poles, and they can latch together at the middle just like you have, it would be functional not tedious like you said. Thank you for sharing (edited to correct grammar)

    @jessicadentalaid4728 Год назад +5

    For the tedious-to-put-together shower curtain: instead of Velcro straps, make them hard metal loops that fit over the midline-attachment of one or the other of the two half poles, then slide the rings over onto one half-pile, snap the pokes together, then the rings will slide across both poles if the metal tinges are big enough. Much easier than those velcro straps :)

    • @lisakuehn6436
