The Answer to Your Van Toilet Hunt? | Trelino Composting Toilet Review
There are LOTS of toilet options for vanife from no toilet to DIY to cassette to over $1000 composting toilets. But there are some new kids on the block that are really interesting options. In this sponsored video I review one of the newer options - the Trelino Composting Toilet. I think it could be a great option if you don't want a permanently installed toilet or you just wanna hit the easy button!
This is a sponsored video - I was given the toilet in exchange for my honest review. Note: I turn down 99% of the sponsor offers I receive and am only reviewing this toilet because I was looking at it for myself and think it's a good option.

    Two vital measurements: How much cold does it put out (expressed in btu/hr) and how much power does it draw to do that (expressed in watt-hours or kilowatt-hours for big draws). Leave that out and its just more youtube yappology

    So cops get briefed every morning to keep an eye out and hassel every grey haired looking grandma 👵 as a possible criminal senior citizen? That's ridiculous, and the police force knows it! Everywhere else, people smile ,step aside, or open doors and are courteous to seniors. What is it about a senior possibly living in a car or van that gets the ire up in these cops nowadays? Another point is why are two obvious older, and respectable looking women addressing topics like drinking & driving and drug use? Things they are are way pass in age having to even think about as a motorist.Taking up those topics are to be left to people who DO have to think and worry about. Not innocent senior women picking up the torch for those kinds of behaviors that have no place in or around a vehicle, parked or moving. And for police to assume that these two very far apart in age groups of people, should be treated in the same manner demonstrates improper training and a serious need for some sensitivity courses.

    Wow, that was easy! Four Pep boys mechanics tried to figure out why my headlight wouldn't work after putting in a new bulb ( 1st mechanic went in to replace indicator light but evidently disconnected the headlight connection instead). After trail AND error, one or all managed to mangle all the prongs from the headlight assembly so badly the car's receptor wouldn't accept the connection. Then pep boy's yada, yada, yada tried to explain it so that it was my headlights prongs fault, along with the receptor the prongs fit into, and wanted to charge me $1,400 for a new headlight assembly! I then took my car to my honest, trustworthy, in the business for 40 years mechanic, he took one look at the bent all out of shape prongs and said "Who did this?!" I confessed I took it to pep boy's. He scolded me, again, about taking my car there. He proceeded to straighten out all the prongs and fit them with a skilled hand back into the receptor (turned out my bulb was still good). It took him an hour of labor. I saved $1,310. Now everything fits tight and secure (something pep boy's said would never happen without a $1,400 part btw). But to be fair pep boy's in the past, has done me some favors (which I was reminded of time and time again when I went back to complain about what was really happening under the hood that day). Pep boy's summed it up using reverse psychology saying "Have you ever made a mistake?" (note no mechanic involved owned up to theirs, or at any time just straightened out the prongs themselves). I said I was grateful for some of the kind things, but it still didn't add up to trying to charge me a very costly bogus repair. I've finally learned my lesson. Ok, no more Pep Boy's (my mechanic says they're going out of business anyway, so that takes care of that).

    What if we have a gel mattress which is too thick? Is there a place I could take it to get it sliced thinner? We have a 12" but would prefer 8"

    • @TheGalavan
      @TheGalavan 20 днів тому

      You'd need to check Google for that. You might be better off getting an 8" mattress than trying to cut your 12" down.

    If you really believe global temperatures will be at record highs, do you think it's a good idea to use a heat pump in a diesel powered home (aka one of the absolute least efficient and highest polluting types of homes possible) ? This is a serious question; not trolling. I'm curious how one reconciles the words vs the action.
