I really like your layout! I've seen a ton of these builds, and this one is very smart. Loads of storage. Great idea for the bathroom to be in the back with the garage area, instead of in ( or near) the nose like most other builds. Plus, you showed me that I can keep my big screen TV and view it comfortably down the long way of the trailer. I'm definitely going to copy that. Thank you for posting...great video!

Very nice layout and all the storage is amazing, quick question how does a normal toilet gets dumped, do you have a black tank or can give more details on how it works. Again thanks for sharing your amazing conversion.
@stratokev2
Жыл бұрын
The toilet empties straight down to a normal RV bayonet style connection for a sewer hose. The hose goes straight from the connection to the campground sewer. This has been working great since we always stay at campgrounds that have full hookups including sewer connection. (And we only use the toilet for #1) This fall however, we are going to camp at a state campground that does not have sewer connections. For this we have a ten gallon external tank on wheels that we will feed the sewer hose into. Then we will wheel the tank to the campground dump station to empty it.
