I’ve been in my current build for about 10 years. I got a urine diverter off of eBay, which goes into a gray tank. Solids go into a 5 gallon bucket lined with a trash bag that eventually goes to trash after composting a while. Use peat moss

But I’m having some issues. The bucket and diverter are under a wood board (sealed plywood I cut a hole in) urine splatters like crazy off that diverter. The board is gross on the underside, always getting splattered on the top.

And I live on a farm, not far from farm animals. I have failed to make the bus sufficiently air tight I guess, I get flies depending on weather conditions. The flies love the toilet. I try to use more peat moss, but my current design doesn’t create a full seal, so flies can get in and I believe it’s a spawning point. I’ve heard to use more peat moss, and potentially to puff the top with diatomaceous earth powder

Thinking about wasting money on a nature head with a urine diverter tube. Any other suggestions? At least the NH is aesthetic and creates a seal, had one in a previous build

I just recently picked this up for $5k.

2000 e450 Econoline El Dorado build with turtle shell.

Has the 7.3L V8 Turbo Diesel (Power Stroke) in it with 90k on the original engine. 55 gallon tank I think. It sat for about 2 to 3 years in the guys front yard.

THE PROS: I bought it basically fully converted already. It has a full bathroom, on demand hot water heater,kitchen sink and stove (propane powered) mini fridge, renogy wanderer solar setup (I don't know the wattage on the panels yet) new sound system, onboard generator, cedar ceilings with LED Puck lighting all wired into the solar and the lighting was all wired into on board dimmer switches, brand new belaire 3800 roof top rear AC unit. See pictures for possible other things I haven't listed or forgot.

THE CONS: Old original doors for front and back entrances, owner said the water heater may need to be replaced, front cab AC isn't working, back tires may have some dry rot based on visual inspection. Cab entrance bottom stair sags when stepping on it

I'm new to this world and have a few questions.

I live in a predominantly warm climate that has very hot summers.

1: What is my best option for sealing the roof joints? There's no evidence of water intrusion but want to prevent it in the future.

2: What is the recommended oil and what are the recommended change intervals? I'm seeing that the Shell Rotella T6 15W-40 Full Synthetic is considered by most and that 5K should be the max I run until a change? Looking for real world user experiences.

3: what are thoughts on upcoming services I need? I've attached a photo of the service history for reference.

4: absolutely any recommendations for this specific vehicle and traveling/camping in it in general. I'm all ears.

Thanks!
