O.K., when you have those items, take the short garden hose and attach it to the locking cap for your sewer pipe. To determine the length of garden hose, set Fuel Jug of Sealed bucket so 2 to 3 inches of hose extends into the top of the Jug or hose. Practice with your Grey Tank. You will see that when shutting the valve, it will take a few ounces before dripping stops, as does your back tank valve. This will foam (from urine) so it gives you good warning as the Jug/Bucket fills up. This Jug can then be disposed of, much as a Cassette Toilet Capsule is done.
Good suggestions , I employ several even for my relatively short stays .
Perhaps I'm reading this wrong . Are you emptying the black tank through a 3/4" garden hose ? If so , doesn't it clog with the solids ?
If you look through my “Parts List” you will see all you need to create a Compost Toilet, without spending a Thousand dollars and use lots of battery power in running the motor to keep it turning. I compost my solids. Never using my black tank for anything but fluids, so contents do flow through the sectioned garden hose. But, I did provide details on how to use your Black Tank/toilet for both solids and liquids to extend the length between trips to a dump station.
Looks like the OP is done with this thread and does not want any additional comments, so I suspect it will be closed now. This was a good discussion, none the less.
