I have a permanently affixed toilet, sink, shower, stove, grey water tank, etc, according to the BLM rules I am not considered "self contained" because my toilet is only 6 gallons.
I understand the reasoning behind the BLM rules, but feel it unfairly applies to my situation. Cassette toilets are popular in Europe and not here, it works well for me and like I said I can go 3 weeks before having to dump.
In this situation I will ask for forgiveness instead of permission because I feel I am doing nothing wrong, and asking the BLM for permission is futile because it clearly states in the rules that I do not meet the definition of "self contained" as defined by the BLM.
