Re: mick n di's bus build
Hi Mick,
I can't find the photos of the toilet mod but it involved removing the macerator from the bottom of the bowl and making a stainless extension pipe that goes through the floor, then the macerator bolts on to there. This way, when/if it goes wrong the "stuff" is outside so the area can be hosed down afterwards and the smells remain outside. We will be using the shower water for flushing the toilet with a secondary pump to give a final squirt of fresh water to create the water seal.
there is a mod involving cutting the majority of the rubber blades from the impeller and using the house water pump to flush the toilet with a second button to control the amount of water added, this is designed to reduce the amount of water used so the holding tank lasts longer before an empty is needed and it's quieter when the mix master is in action.

Re: mick n di's bus build
The dog is doing a champion job of holding that tank up with just it's ears. best you get the bolts in before the postman arrives or the dog might forget what he was doing and drop the tank 
Don't ya just love crawling around on the ground trying to fit stuff, you never take the bit you need next with you, so then it's back out and look for that while trying to maintain the enthusiasm to continue with the job

Hi Mick,
are you going to sit the tank on a sheet of ply? Ply tends to absorb the shock of a stone strike etc.
