?? TWO Lagun Base mounts : both curb and street side ?? Has anyone (with the wonderful Overland designed Lagun base for Oliver Twin beds) installed TWO mounts for positioning table mount either on curb or the street side ?? All photos I have seen so far show it mounted on the street side We are just finishing up our build list for spring 2021 delivery of a Elite_II and as we prepare to order parts for a self install of Overland table base we wonder should we make two base mounts (right and left). The Lagun table is AMAZING and after about 15,000 miles in a teardrop with a Lagun we are huge fans. Being able to switch the mount from one side to the other seems worth thinking about . . . . . . . . . .

On the list for OTT EII 2021 delivery in March. Thanks to everyone who is contributing to this topic, it has been much on our minds. We are planning on starting off with our existing 2018 Tacoma Long Bed off-road realizing that is not ideal for all conditions. (1) It's paid for, we love it , (2) Why rush into a major expense upfront if we don't absolutely have to. Give it a while to simmer as we gain experience with the OTT EII while watching others and looking and learning. (3) Our dream two vehicle at this point seems to be a 3/4T Sprinter long wheelbase 4WD and that's a big decision and big chunk of change.

>> How to utilize the existing black water tank (deposit liquids) from the bath/shower space in the case where a composting toilet is fitted ? (0) I am assuming that depositing partially treated urine or other liquids into the black tank could be a benefit in some situations. *************** I have the thought that a flat box (rectangular hollow and slightly bigger than the footprint of the composting toilet) can be constructed that :: (1) will increase the height of the composting toilet ( ? 1.5 to 3 inches ?) and I acknowledge the extra height is a challenge. (2) has an opening at the bottom that fits into the black tank floor toilet hole. (3) has access port or ports outside the footprint of the composting toilet such that a tube/funnel will permit pouring in liquids. (4) built to come apart so that the interior can be cleaned as needed. (5) Gas/drain Trap: possibly ?? the interior construction could allow a sort of drain trap to keep gasses/smells from easily exiting any time the input port/tube/funnel is used. This feature seems a bit of a stretch when trying to keep the unit thin so as to not raise the composting toilet too too high. (6) the top surface of the box would fit/accommodate the bottom of the composting toilet so all items may be secured. the fitting of the box into the toilet tank drain would in itself prevent any siding/shifting. *************** Boondocking :: Thoughts on efficient use of water. Having spent some time 'long long ago in a land far away' living on very small boats, I found it possible to live a clean and comfortable life while using very little water for washing everything. The trick was to use "Low Flow/High Pressure" ( pump up garden sprayer in my case ). We as a society assume water is an infinite free resource and easy disposal is a given, hence we commonly use Low Pressure/High Flow which doesn't work out too well when boon-docking etc. If a luxury warm shower for two is a gallon or less and if rinsing off dishes after washing is measured in ounces, it is conceivable that one can easily boondock for extended times even if one has to transport potable water in and grey and black water out of the campsite. ***************
