    Lord Have Mercy! Bless you two on this endeavor! We have been Boondocking for 40 years and have tried and seen it all. OMG we watched a Poo bladder blow at Morro Bay State Beach Campgrounds dump station. Had the handle welded seam pop and the poo pulp water shot out at high pressure everywhere. 10-15’
    Macerated pulp is horrible, hoses full of poo smell.
    Unfortunately they are made for fresh water not contaminated fecal matter.
    I would only state for anyone doing this to be prepared

    Yes the tote tank is a PITA and there's always a chance it might leak at a aeam or valve but it would be miniscule compared to the bladder. I wouldn't want to be near you at the dump station. Imagine a seam opening, even a small hole...there would be no stopping it.
    I use a bladder for fresh water but no way am I doing black or even gray (it stinks too). YOU ARE EXTREMELY BRAVE.

    • @liketheresnotomorrow
      @liketheresnotomorrow  14 часов назад +1

      It would be great for water if that’s more comfortable. They have much smaller ones as well. It’s way more thick and strong than the water bladder that most of us use.

      lol I know. People fear the worst case scenario. I get that. But if we all worry about the “what ifs” we would never even Rv at all. This tote is way better made than people can see from this video. Way higher grade than any water bladder I’ve seen. To each is own, I guess.

    That is just about the same set up I use with the macerator! I HAVE A 100 waste bladder. If you change the ends on your macerator and fresh water pump to SAE connectors you can tap off you RV battery and run a wire off your truck battery to the bed (or even adapt a 7 pin connector) and you not need the extra battery

    Me and a buddy were discussing this the other day, I'll share it with him. I think I'd use a valtera glue on gate valve rather than a ball valve for the outlet.
    Also, I made a rack behind the rear axle out of angle aluminum for my poop tote to ride in under my valor.

    You are doing it right. Do yourself a big favor, get a tarp that can completely cover your whole truck bed including the sides. Make sure the sides of the tarp are well secured to the top of the sides. Close the tailgate. What you are doing is protecting yourself should the blatter break. Also get a second one for fresh water. Place the second one on top of the first blatter. Fill the grey and black tanks into the black blatter. Go dump the black blatter. Now while you are out, filll the fresh water in the top fresh water blatter. The rest is easy.

      I hope you don’t mind if I ask a question… do you fulltime with a compost toilet? Are there more than one person using? How often do you have to dump liquids/solids. I’m only a little familiar but we don’t boondock all year. So we didn’t think it would be worth it. Thoughts?

    Thanks for the great idea. I too have been struggling with where and how to manage the old turd Toter.
    I did want to ask how you go about cleaning out the bag after dumping. I assume it’s not hard, but just curious if there was any concerns regarding getting all the “stuff” out to avoid any smells or growth between uses.
    Appreciate your insight and experience on this.

    • @liketheresnotomorrow
      @liketheresnotomorrow  13 часов назад +1

      Pretty much the same as the camco hard tote. You never really get everything out. Just flush and dump until you feel it’s flat. Tighten cap. lol this is why you need to put it in a bin. For the water bladder we do a little bleach flush every now and again.

    You did a good job showing the solution, and talking around the less desirable concepts. I just can't help but think about the macerator pump pumping pulpy poop into a poop bladder. A VEVOR chinesium poop bladder. This is the most entertaining video I will watch tonight by far. and... we got a new tongue twister out of the deal... "pumps pumping pulpy poop" :)

    Ya, I thought about this for a very short time and determined it would be difficult to clean the solids out of it and therefore would be a bad idea. after a short time it would retain the solids and the stench would be really bad. Let me know if I am wrong!

    Have you considered a compost toilet for boondocking? I've been full timing for 7 years and boondock 100% of the time. I have an Airhead compost toilet and I change the "solids" media (coco coir) about once a month. Simply invert the tank into a garbage bag and legally take it to the dump. Pee tank is two gallons and it is discreetly dumped in the desert when needed maybe once a week.
    This would not work so well though if you spend a lot of time at RV parks, as you would have to dump the pee tank often.

    • @liketheresnotomorrow

      @@liketheresnotomorrow I guess it would depend on if that 6 months is all at once. And, how much of a limiting factor emptying the black tank is compared to batteries, fresh water, etc. I built my own cargo trailer to RV conversion and have a ton of solar and batteries. On demand propane water heater. There is a 100 gallon fresh water tank in the bed of the Ram that connects with a short hose to a water inlet in the V nose of the trailer. Full sized 120 volt home fridge with ice maker. Combined with the compost toilet, I can go up to a month without needing to resupply. I usually only do two weeks in one spot though, and have an abundance of water for long hot showers.
