    I've never understood how any urine diverting toilet can work, but they obviously do. For me and my young kids, right after number 1 and number 2 come out of us, they merge right away into a single mixed stream. It isn't as though number 2 is always neatly falling in the back while the urine precisely and separately falls more forward.

      Hello, Apologies we never posted a 6 month review. We are still currently using the induction on our solar system and it has been working well. If cooking a full dinner with it, on 400ah it takes about 10% battery if the sun isn't out. If the pan/pot is too small, sometimes the induction magnet doesn't recognize it very well but we rarely use our tiny pot. We recently sold our van and moved into a custom built truck camper and purchased this same exact induction and same thing, its been working great the last few months.

      Hello, we went away from this style of video and towards cinematic ones we enjoy making more. We love the induction overall. It does require a pretty good electrical system. We have run into issues in the winter months because of getting less sun and the caveat now is that we both have remote jobs so our computers draw a ton of power with both of them plugged in (along with Starlink). Those draw about 250-300 watts. Without those I don't think we'd run into a lot of issues but we do have a portable one burner gas stove as backup for areas like Washington and Oregon.

      Hi, its first come first, I don’t recall too many site have enough parking for more than one rv. But we stayed there with a friend and we each parked in a different campsite.

      @@abeandmel Thanks. It would be individual vehicles, no RV's. Just wondering about rules for car count per site.

    I was looking for something I could do, thank you. They want $1,000 for other toilet it's just crazy.

    Not to disagree with the video comments. However the narrative could stand alone. As if Kerouac had a writer daughter. Well done

    Drop a ping-pong ball in the funnel. It will keep the odor down. Ball will float when in use and seal when done.

      That is an interesting idea, with urine, I would feel the ping pong ball would smell quickly

      DUDE!!!! GREAT IDEA!!! A LITTLE SPRAY FROM VINEGAR OR EVEN GLASS CLEANER TO HELP KEEP THE PING PONG FROM SMELLING WOULD BE GOOD TOO I THINK!

    I love this! The only issue I was seeing is that the toilet doesn’t fit snugly over the bucket and the funnel. It seem to hover above it in a wobbly way. See you like that or does it go down further and stay snug? Also, when pulling it back up, does it pull on them in a way that could tip them over? Do they get stuck is what I’m asking.

    • @abeandmel
      @abeandmel 11 місяців тому

      The toilet comes with a bucket with no bottom that then snuggly fit in the bucket. They dont get stuck when you pull up the toilet. If you sit too far on the front and use a flimsy milk jug it can smoosh in
