    This is absolutely awesome! I am working on this project now and ordering 2 of these valves. What connectors did you use going from the Hepvo and the output pipe from the Nature's Head? Is that the 1.5" one you used? Thank you so much for this video.

    I'm pretty sure your safe to dump your pee its sterilized from your body worse things get dumped in to the system If you can dump your urine on the ground in most places I'm sure it's okay to dump it down a waste drain you can do it out in the desert among other places too. I'm intrigued with the vent system well done Randy well done. Which sika flex are you using the stuff is great.

    I am kinda worried pressure from the drain, I think the sink will keep the pee drain filled at all times? I could be wrong but would be easy to test if you fill black tanks with water. So if you are using the sink water will first fill up the pee drain before going into the tank. You want the T for the Pee pipe to be up at an angle.

    Yeah I understand what you’re questioning. But I’ve got a really good drop on that pipe from the sink to the tank and it’s not been a problem at all. it’s working great but thanks for pointing that out. It could be helpful for others.

    He done a fantastic job now you don't have to see the pee bucket boy I know how that is. I remember when we used to have outside bathrooms and they were seven of us and we are used that old bucket we called it a pee and Pooh bucket so that brings back memories I hated that bucket when it was my turn to empty that take it out to the old outhouse and it stunk to high heaven I hated the bucket I literally hated it. So I know how you feel and that was just pee so match both of them. I am so glad you don't have to do that no more. Thank you so much for these videos I really enjoy them I just can't wait of the morning to get up and get on my phone and see what's happening with you all today I really enjoying I truly do. thank you both for sharing your life with us I feel like we're family and we are going on the journey with you thank you again but please be safe out there until the next video love you guys. oh by the way I hope you can read this

    Why not drill a hole in the base of the bottle holder, then run the drain pipe through. That way if you switch back to the bottle you don’t have to reinstall. And you could fashion a plug for the open drain line under the bus.

    @@KnappTime yep I suppose its 6 one way, half a dozen the other. Kinda thought it would hide the pipe, but would also collect dirt and debris. Also more difficult to clean in side the holder. Oh well just commenting for the KZread formula anyway.

    The bottle holder is ALSO to catch "over flow" so don't drill a hole into the bottom of that. For those times when you waited too long and the "overflow" is caught in that bin you will be grateful for no hole in the bottom of it. Remove it via the screws they have there attaching it, that way it can be removed for extra foot space too. He did it the right way.
