Re: Nature's Head Composting Toilet
Grumpa, I can only second everything KeePee has said. It was the first mod I did on the 1995. Also if it goes a little dry on you just dump the coffee grounds in it every so often. No smell, no dump station needed. If really needed you can keep one of those "blue" sanitizing bars in the bathroom for that realistic black tank smell LOL. Sorry I actually thought about taking a picture last time I dumped it. I have used the moss and or coconut fiber, in ours I like the coconut fiber best and...

Re: Nature's Head Composting Toilet
I will admit that the head takes up some precious bathroom real estate. The size did give me some challenges with the installation. Up here, there is either no dumping where I camp, or a single dump station where there is often a long line. If I was camping in full service sites routinely, the expense and hassle of the mod would have ruled it out for me. Though now that I've used it, I'd want it in any RV simply because I find it more pleasant. (I know that sounds pretty silly, but it's ...

Re: Nature's Head Composting Toilet
I have a 1995 on order and want to install a Nature's Head composting toilet. Do you have any hints, comments, etc on the installation in the 1995? The bathroom is small and there isn't a lot of space around the standard toilet. Did you have any issues in getting it to fit? Ideally I would like this to be one of my first mods so that the black tank is "pristine"

Re: Nature's Head Composting Toilet
I also have a composting toilet thanks to Kaypee, so far my wife and I love it, me mostly because it is a quick dump into a garbage bag after many days of use. Yes as a beer drinker I do have two urine liquid bottles. Some day we will have to figure the liquid intake/outgoing LOL. I have done mod's on our NH to make it bathroom friendly for a 1995 which are posted on the "resource forum". Our black tank has never used.

Re: Nature's Head Composting Toilet
We had a composting toilet in our boat. I think you're going to like it - they work great! ...and no more searching for a "pump-out", Oh, I mean "dump" station (we're land lubbers now - almost forgot!)

Big E's List Of Recommended Camping Stuff
I thought I would make a list of stuff, products that have worked well for us. Some of the items are fan favorites, tried and true and widely used and accepted across the LOA spectrum of members. Others are little known, sleeper products if you will. Some have been passionately debated and others, not so much. Hope this list can be of use to somebody. To start things off simple, toilet paper. White Cloud Green Earth available at Wal Mart. Broke down more quickly than every other TP I tested,...

Re: Torklift Lower StableLoads on a 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 towing a Lance 1575
Fully loaded rig very curvy & hilly tow test with stop-and-go traffic as well as up to 65 mph sections - Success! The 3 wedges on the fronts & 2 wedges on the rears is the perfect combo. for our set-up. Drove from Santa Rosa, CA to Bodega Dunes cg in Bodega Bay, CA with absolutely no issues. No sway (although we didn't have any to begin with), sponginess, or porpoising. The TV & TT travel as a single unit in braking, stopping, accelerating, cruising, over bumps & pot holes,...

Thetford 550P porta potti - For quick dry camping trips with no dump station access
We are fortunate here to camp year 'round. We dry camp 95% of the time. Much of that here in CA means no access to a dump station either. For example, our local SP cg is just 15 minutes away and we quite frequently run up there for spur-of-the-moment 1 or 2 night stays. It does not have a dump station. Nor is there a dump station anywhere in between our house and there. Our local fairgrounds does have a dump station and it's only $5.00, but it is out of our way and really silly to have to...

I use 87 from the gas station. No sense of using 89 or 92 Just regular old gas will work just fine! WoodGlue

Re: Smarter Tools 2000iQ Generator
Hi All, What a great bunch of folks here! When it is daylight today, I will try the suggestions. Yes, I am hoping it is a simple stupid mistake on my part...too much gas! If you've read other posts in this community, you know I will be back to tell you my results. The gas can...actually, I saw that recommendation here on this or another thread. Right before the Bp station my husband and I went to Pep Boys to look for that brand, but no luck, so we had to use one of our old leaky, drippy gas...

Actually, I am pretty philosophical about it. We don't have a spill-less gas can. Right now, I smell a bit like a gas station. I can taste the fumes. I had wondered how and where to carry the gen (the 825 is very tight, not much room for one except maybe one specific compartment. And I worried about the smell...
