The new idea is to install a sink and grease trap into the van. It should not be too big or crowded. I could still reuse the computer desk with a hole cut out and emplace the sink into that hole. The grease trap will take the water from the sink and filter out the fats, oil, and grease (FOG). Another tank will capture the water coming from the grease trap. This water will be further treated in order to fully recycle it. That treatment could include filtering and reverse osmosis.
In my water experiments, I was able to take very bad water and make it run clear. However, it still needed treatment, so I figure a couple more treatments, like a UV light device that will kill pathogens and then the reverse osmosis to get rid of the ions and salts. Thusly, the output of the grease trap will go into my own home made filter, and the output of that will go into the reverse osmosis treatment.
After removing all black water from the water flows, and reclaiming all the water possible from all water sources, I figure I should be in compliance with the laws as well as having a superior system for water handling.
As for building a cabin: Why? I think a carport could do the trick. Enclose the carport on one side with Lexan for the winter months. The other side will be enclosed but with plywood.
This may be an idea that could work. More fine tuning may be necessary, however.
