I thought I'd revive this thread since Earth Cruiser just posted this video, in which Lance talks about their new grey water filtration system. Unfortunately, he doesn't give any details and there's nothing I can find on their website about it. The only info they give is that they worked with Oregon State to develop it, and that it's robust enough that their shower system is now completely independent with no grey water tank at all - just recycled water, over and over. Which is pretty cool. I'd love to know more, just for curiosity sake. Skip to 3:45 -

MarkC - With a human "system" that seems to be fairly sensitive to differing mineral content in water, I always use "bottled" water while on the road for drinking and cooking. For the most part I buy gallon jugs in order to cut down on the plastic waste of all those one liter bottles. If I'm drawing water into my fresh water tank from a reasonable source, I do not filter it since I'm only using it for showers and/or flushing the toilet. However, if the source of the water is questionable (i.e. there appears to be heavy mineral deposits near or on the faucet or I'm drawing out of a stream or lake) I do filter the water while drawing it into the tank or Ollie. For this filtering I simply use the standard "Camco" inline water filters that I get either at WalMart or Amazon. Bill p.s. While hiking and/or fishing I usually carry a personal filtering system so that I can replenish my water supply on the go.

We’ve got a 2004 Ford Excursion 6.0 diesel that I just can’t quit on. It’s a 2wd so the ride is pretty tame. It’s got a tow rating of 11,000lbs, 600+ mile range (44 gallon tank with no DEF...) and enough torque to stop the rotation of the earth. I added a rear sway bar which improved the handling a lot. Also upgraded to Hawk LTS brake pads. Otherwise it’s dead stock. A-* (because it’s so old it doesn’t have Apple CarPlay) *not Ollie owners, we tow a Hymer (but this forum is the BEST for tech posts)

You can sleep either way. Some put the head of the bed at the kitchen. We’ve done both. Either way, we just put a pillow behind and recline against the pantry or counter and watch.

The wife and I survived one cold rainy day in a state park where we stayed inside all day, that was a good test for being comfortable in a small space. trainman
