PRESSSURIZED KEROSENE STOVE ISSUES

Re: Soft Dodger or Hard Dodger - Pros / Cons

The deck turned out to be even more solid than I thought it would be. It has 5/8" ply sandwiched between two polyester skins. Total thickness is more than 1" over the cabin and 1 1/2" at the...

Re: Composting Toilets

The bottom is a 6" PVC T with screw in clean out plugs added to the ends. If needed, the bottom section can be disassembled. I might add, the stirring rods are reinforced with wood dowels.
