Hi, my name is John Beech and we're located in central FL. I've been reading a lot and recently acquired a truck, which I named Moby because she's large, white, and well . . . whale-like (yes, I name everything). She's got an auxiliary drop axle just forward of the drive wheels, which I rather...

Any photos Lee? We're in Sanford, central FL, and hope to start our conversion soon having recently acquired a truck to base it on. What do you use yours for? general traveling around, or for attending events?

You're chewing on a lot of project Kenn. It's been a fascinating read thus far. Attaboy!

Basement box - whole slew of questions. Starting a new thread for this.

It would only be my wife and I (we attend RC model helicopter weekend events instead of racing). I'm happy enough using event-supplied Port-O-Lets for liquids but like my wife, I want to place my rear on a known-clean surface. Generally, events are 2-3 days long. There are one or two events a...

Well that's an interesting take on the blackwater issue. Elsewhere, not in this thread I don't believe, someone mentioned a 3:1 ratio between graywater and blackwater usage. This makes sense because we consume a lot more water while showering than flushing in a day (I'm not big on the military...

Thanks! I'll create my own starter post. Sorry for hijacking this one but knew it was quite old and hoped folks wouldn't mind since it was on-topic(ish).

If I am understanding this, when not on shore power the generator needs to run for an hour to burn up the download, right? The downside is a $200 toilet, $250-400 poly holding tank, plus another $100 for assorted valves, hose, etc makes it about 3X the ante going in. The upside is no blackwater...

You recently made a post where you mentioned your truck averaging 13mpg. Has that figure held up over time? What's the gear ratio? Reason I ask is I just picked up a 2001 Freightliner Expediter with a Cat engine of some sort and gear ratio still unknown as well. The seller said to expect 8mpg...
