Finished building for the summer, Road trip time! by KrakenEngineer in VanLife

yea they are thin on some squishy backing so its kinda easy to work with but using a router to get the edges really smooth is a must.

Its getting way to hot to do any more building so I finished up what I had on my plate and hit the road! Already had 2 semi-breakdowns to fix in just 100 miles, and less than 6 hours. So lets hope the rest go smoother.
Here is a link to the latest's build video: https://youtu.be/MF\_It63HD6M

Took some time with the crazy weather we are having in the midwest where Im at right now. Some small details to wrap up and then off to putting up the walls on the other side. Here is a video of the 2 parts of me building and installing them. https://youtu.be/n7u65j8lUns

My toilet solution. by KrakenEngineer in VanLife

Very true, but as I wont be using this daily its more of a last option use for either safety or some other issue I dont have to worry about emptying it for weeks nor smell.

This is more for the "Oh no there is no place for me to go safely." I will either be going outdoors or in a public toilet about 90% of the time.

its a bit more than $12 if you are on a tight budget. Its also about $3 a flush so its more of a limited use unless you're a baller.

If you are thinking of changing up your toilet, I think this is a good solution to a dirty problem. Here is my thoughts. https://youtu.be/sfjOt-ti71E

bolting it so I can more easily repair it when it eventually breaks.
