Hi everyone, well, we've just been hanging out with Gene & Kathy, visiting with friends around the Foothills area. One of the things we definitely wanted to get done right after we got back to Yuma was take out the composting toilet. Even though we thought it was a good idea at the time we built the bus, it just wasn't working for us. For one thing, we didn't realize just how much electricity it would take, it takes much more to run than our refrigerator! In hindsight, we think the 12 volt type would probably have worked a lot better for us, as well as a much smaller toilet, but, too late now. So, out with the old and in with the new. We got a porcelain bowl toilet, so it would be easier to clean.
The next thing we had to decide was, did we want to take the 100 gallon gray tank out and get two smaller tanks or... We found out that we would have had to special order the two tanks to get the specifications we wanted, so we'll just keep the big tank and use that for the black water and we bought a 45 gallon gray water tank. We did that when we drove to California last week and Ron has spent the rest of the week re-routing the pipes from the shower and two sinks out of the black and into the gray. He finished it yesterday, but, still wants to run the vent pipe differently, because with that big toilet out of the way, there is a lot of room now and the pipe is very visible. He's hoping to run it through the cabinet so it will be out of sight.
