I finally finished it today and it works great at 50 feet with a 5/8 inch garden hose with regular TP in tank also, EeeeeHA My version of the Masadisposarator with a few changes like a tilt platform and anti siphon built in.Had only one problem small leak at top to disposal and finally just sealed that with 100% silicon and that fixed that. Took 4 minutes to empty 80 gallons of waste and clean out really well. Dave  | ||

The best story I have heard about sealing was a fellow that had a few leaks on his brand new big buck boat engine. He shmered goop on all the leaky spots and hooked a big shop vac up to the oil fill. Rag plugged any vents that were lowering the suction , and left it run for 15 min. THe claim was IT WORKED! Better living thru chemistry? FF | ||

I made one from this site but I think I need to use a larger diameter discharge hose rather than the regular garden hose. The test I did wasn't really hooked up to the black tank so maybe that would make a difference. At a recent rally in Titusville, another busnut showed me his that he bought at camping world which looked pretty cool. It's called a sewer solution which uses a hose similar to a garden hose (little larger) and fresh water pressure. Very small and compact with no motors. I haven't looked at it up close yet but he says his is going on 6 years of use and no problems. | ||

Yep Pete, that where we all got the idea from but theirs was straight up and down and couldn't adjust it. I have a built in anti siphon valve on mine and yep Ace I know now the the 5/8 hose works great but it is also a 3/4 horse disposal. I did a TP test with regular paper and it did well. But I think because of stiff hose and rolling it up then trying to stow it, I will get some of the black vinyl 7/8" hose that curls up into a small circle to stow easier. This thing will run forever it is also SS blades and guts. Also if you all will notice, It kinda looks like a Penguin doesn't it?!!! Dave (Message edited by chrome_dome on February 22, 2011) | ||

How about using a flat vinyl hose like a swimming pool discharge hose? Much easier storage. You can find a good selection of hose and fittings at Tractor Supply Tractor Supply (Message edited by lsilva on February 22, 2011) (Message edited by lsilva on February 22, 2011) | ||

By a complete coincidence I discovered this... I hate to say it Dave, but yours looks pretty Mickey-Mouse compared to it....I'll chalk it up to the budget involved. BTW anyone know what the gauge is called that measures the level of the BWT...? that info is also in the linked page http://www.usstorsk.org/virtualtour/crew_berthing/index.htm | ||

I thought of that first and since they totally stole my idea, I went the other way and Made it simple, Plus I would have to incorporate a burn Trailer. We will already have 4 trailers behind the bus for all our stuff and 2 for the feral cats and 2 Raccoons, certainly can not just leave them. | ||

Actually we have a family of 8 Skunks which over the years here have trained them with squirt bottles to not spray us. When they used to try we would hit them with the water squirt-er first and they just didn't know what to do so being we would feed them they stopped. It was so funny. Your Stink??? LOL Chromie | ||

Ok I will throw in a skunk story here about a pet skunk we had when i was growing up. Rightfully so he was properly named "Stinky Le Pew" and my father had it de-gland. Over time it became a wonderful loyal pet that was trained on the crackling of cellophane to get a treat and boy would he come running to the sound. My brother and I used to bring him to school in a gym bag and let him loose in the hall during lunch...talk about key stone cops...the kids and adults would scatter faster than a lighting bolt. I would just crackle his paper and he would come running into the gym bag and onward we would go. Once I forgot to zip the bag when I got on the bus and next thing you know we where in the ditch with the driver on top of the hood directing the kids in a panic....I guess you could say that's a favorite bus story to...Kade | ||

GOOD ONE..! ...so it appears that I'm not the only one here with an unbridled sense of humor. Makes me wish I had a good "Stinker Story".....alas, my barrel is empty in that department.... ....not even a snide aside on Fooey....! |
