Interior layout Mercedes Benz Special - "mobile toilet"

The first compartment contains tanks: a clean water tank, a service water tank and a waste water tank. The waste water tank forms the floor surface.

In the second compartment there are 2 cabins, separated by a solid partition. The entrance to the cabins is through swing doors. Each cubicle has a toilet, washstand and hand dryer.

Installed electrical wiring, interior lighting and ventilation, designed to be connected to an external 220V power source. On the right side of the box body, there is a waterproof socket for connecting an external power source (220 V).

The design and installation of non-standard electrical devices and sources of increased voltage was carried out in accordance with the requirements of GOST 14254 in relation to the protection of personnel from contact with live parts of the equipment. The electrical equipment of a standard car is not designed for increased voltage and current consumption.

All additional equipment installed in the van is securely fastened.

All actions due to the functional purpose are carried out only in the stationary state of the vehicle. The presence of people while the vehicle is in motion in all compartments, except the cab, is not allowed.

Moreover, it is now possible to do your "wet business" without fear of Art. 20.1 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation "Petty hooliganism". Recall that, according to this article, it is easy for him not only to run into a fine from 50 to 1000 rubles, but also to thunder under administrative arrest for up to 15 days. And what is especially pleasant: getting rid of the pangs of long-suffering (by the way, very harmful to the body) was brought to us not by overseas miracle technologies, but by native Russian engineers.

However, with some restrictions: the mini-toilet "Mono" created by them, which can be used without leaving the wheel, is designed exclusively for men. However, the inventors say that they are already working on a special adapter, which will allow, without shame and pangs of conscience, to send their natural needs right in the driver's seat and the weaker sex. Well, let's wait, but for now let's return to the hero of our material.

We bought this original product in one of the capital's online stores, and then tested it in a big city, namely in a real car stuck in a real traffic jam. A video of the test data can be found below. Let's say right away that the tests were successful, though not immediately - the first attempt ended with the tester's wet pants. But first things first.

"Mono" is unlike any other on our market. However, there is no need to talk about analogies here, since products from other manufacturers (by the way, exclusively foreign ones - Serbian, Japanese, Chinese) are positioned as universal - suitable for men, women, and children.

This "versatility" is expressed in the form of a "duck" at the end of the sanitary package, into which it is proposed to attach your genitals. Well, we tried. Alas, neither the woman who agreed to the experiment, nor even the representative of the stronger sex could, sitting in the car, attach the "duck" so that urine would fall exclusively into the receiver. That is, all these "Serbs", "Japanese" and "Chinese" are designed exclusively for use in a standing position - for men, and in a classic position - for women.

In other words, you have to get out of the car. Our Russian product is a different matter, if you know, of course, how to apply it correctly.

The diameter of the neck of this "device" is more than sufficient to receive "devices" of any size and is put on a man's dignity without the slightest problem. But there is one important nuance, without taking into account which you can slightly wet yourself (which happened to us at the first attempt). The bell cuff must be tucked in without fail - then a check valve effect is created and not a single drop will fall on the clothes.

In this case, the bag that accepts the liquid and contains the superabsorbent, which turns it into a gel in 10 seconds, must be held with a slight slope - that is, it should simply hang from the edge of the seat. These two simple rules make the whole process quite comfortable and completely invisible to others.

There are no analogues in the domestic market for the Mono mini-toilet.


The gel, as we have seen, is firmly held inside, does not leak out and does not smell. This means that the compact folding bag after use does not need to be immediately thrown out of the car window after using it, littering your city. It, along with its contents, can be in the cabin without any problems until you reach the nearest waste bin. For example, for the purity of the experiment, we drove it in the salon of our car for more than a day - and nothing! Nowhere leaked or smelled, and the manufacturer himself claims that when folded, a used mini-toilet can be stored for up to two days.

Making a mobile home with your own hands is not a very difficult task for any master. The design, in the course of construction, will be improved and because of this, the production time may be delayed. To prevent such a situation, it is necessary to think over the interior design in advance, to get rid of unsuitable elements. This approach is important when converting small vehicles when assembling a RV, for example from an old trailer.

A mobile home is a type of transport that is both housing and a means of transportation. This kind of housing gained its popularity at the beginning of the last century.

RV device

By standards, a mobile home should accommodate eight people. Each tenant has his own sleeping place, there is also a small kitchen. Other amenities and equipment may vary from model to model, but in most cases there are also:


In more expensive models there is a bathroom, consisting of (often replacing a chair, which gives several additional meters of free space), a washbasin and a shower. Sometimes mobile homes are equipped with showers.

Note! In a motorhome, the driver's and passenger's seats are movable, as a result of which they turn into an addition to the living space during parking. At the tail end, there is often a separate room with U-shaped furniture.



History

Serial production of mobile homes began in the last century, although some historians believe there were earlier homemade counterparts. They were small vans equipped to accommodate people (mainly herders).

The first mobile home mounted on a conventional car chassis was introduced in 1938 by Jennings.

Varieties of mobile homes

There are several classifications of motorhomes. So, according to the design features, they are distinguished:


Depending on their purpose, they are divided into:

  • those that are used as long-term / permanent housing;
  • those that are used for travel.

In the first case, more comfortable conditions take place, while often moving structures are extremely rarely divided into their own living space and a cabin.

Categories


Let's consider in detail each of the categories.

C-class

Small houses for short trips. Usually made on the basis of SUVs, so at night the cabin can be in a double bed (if desired).


Theardrop camper - cottage on a trailer

B-class

The only difference between it and the C-class is the berth - it is stationary and located at the tail of the vehicle. It is very popular among young couples (at least in America).

A-class

Such houses, outwardly similar to a regular bus, are the most comfortable and therefore the most expensive. They are built on the basis of trucks, therefore, from the point of view of transport classification, they belong to category "C".

They are distinguished by a large windshield, a fixed driver's seat and retractable partitions that form different zones and separate berths. Moreover, such structures are autonomous, equipped with a generator, have gas and a large supply of water.

Several additional categories can be distinguished.



About the name

The term "motorhome" (another name is "camper") often means a car caravan.

Note! Campers are called B- and C-class trailers, while mobile homes are exclusively A-class models.

It is also worth noting that in some countries, without exception, motorhomes are called vinebago.


It will take a lot of effort and time, as well as the appropriate equipment, to turn a car into a mobile home.


Note! First, you should study this issue from the point of view of legislation. Self-made RVs are perceived differently by different registering organizations, and it will be frustrating if transport ends up being illegal.

Stage 1. First, the number of residents is determined and, based on this, a vehicle and internal "filling" are selected. A detailed design plan is drawn up - this can be done on paper, but it is better to use a computer.


Stage 2. Next, the car body is cleaned. If dents have been identified, they are removed and the peeling paint is peeled off. Several windows (if there were none) in the case are equipped for lighting and fresh air supply.


Step 3. Cut vents and valves for gas supply. All areas of "bare" metal are coated with a primer to protect against corrosion and aggressive environmental influences.

Stage 4. The house is finished with heat-insulating material.




Note! To do this, you need to use exclusively high-quality materials, it is extremely undesirable to save money. In addition, the material from which the hardware (metal fasteners) is made should be similar to the metal of the car body - this is for additional protection against rusting.

Stage 5. The interior of the motorhome is finished.


  • carpet covering;
  • moisture resistant plywood.

Thick panels with stuffed strips for furniture installation are inserted into the side walls. It is characteristic that at first it is better to align the ceiling, and only after that move on to the walls.


Step 6. After installing the furniture, you should take care of the water supply. To do this, you can install several canisters of water under the sink and install small pumps. In addition, large tanks can be installed - for example, for taking a shower.



Note! Do not forget about waste water - another tank is installed for this. A regular garden structure can be used as a toilet.

Step 7. For cooking and heating, as noted earlier, it is better to use propane gas. The balloon is located in the lower part of the body, as well as an additional vent for ventilation. This can be explained quite simply: the weight of propane is greater than that of air, so in the event of a leak, such safety measures will prevent unfortunate consequences.

Stage 8. It remains only to take care of the power supply. The best option is a powerful rechargeable battery equipped with an external charging outlet.








Mobile home from an old trailer

Our trailer-trailer costs about 500,000 rubles. The amount is impressive, so if there is an opportunity to purchase an old car trailer, then you can build a small motorhome with your own hands. This will require:

  • trailer (always with a strong chassis);
  • wooden elements (slats, bars, wagon boards);
  • plywood;
  • metal profile (for the roof);
  • fittings made in the same style;
  • a set of appropriate tools.

Manufacturing technology

Such a motorhome will be a trailer with a rear end. By the way, it is better to make the bed for the entire width of the structure - this way it will connect the side walls and thereby increase the rigidity. The bay window will be manufactured later and equipped with an individual unit. The door is installed in the Dutch type - it will consist of two halves.

Stage 1. The trailer is disassembled, the chassis is thoroughly cleaned and covered with anti-corrosion paint. A frame is constructed from pine boards, props are cut in the appropriate places.

Stage 2. A frame is constructed from slats with a section of 2x2 cm, an oak strip with a section of 3x3 cm is additionally installed in each corner. From above, the frame is tied with a horizontal strip.

Note! For thermal insulation, you can lay the lining in two layers.

Stage 3. The floor is covered with plywood sheets. For the roof, poplar beams are used - they are screwed along the frame with a step of 30 cm. Plywood is fixed on the beams, on top of which a moisture-resistant material and a metal profile of a small section are spread.

Stage 4. There will be only one window in the body (if the door is not taken into account) - in the upper part of the back wall. It is desirable to make the window in the form of a bay window.

The door lock in such structures is located at the bottom, but you can put another one - additional - at the top. In addition, the door is equipped with a small casement window.

Stage 5. It is recommended to equip a table that can be pulled out from under the bed (as was once the case in Great Britain trains). For this, special lockers are formed under the bed. By the way, the lower space can also be used as a sleeping place.

In addition, shelves and a removable staircase are built from wood.

Letter of the law

No additional permission is required if the motorhome dimensions do not exceed:

  • 400 cm high;
  • 255 cm wide;
  • 100 cm in length (excluding the part that does not protrude beyond the trailer).

If the dimensions are larger, then the motorhome is transported according to special rules (flashing lights, escort, etc.). Of course, this only applies to trailers.

Business organization on mobile homes


You can organize your own business on the construction of motorhomes. There are four options for developing such a business.

Option number 1. Manufacturing of houses for sale for summer holidays or residence in the country. This will not require serious material costs, since the houses will be of a simplified design - for example, without insulation.

Option number 2. Rent out mobile homes. This is a relatively new business, and everything new can be very expensive. The number of motorhomes in this case is increasing as the customer base grows.

Option number 3. Making mobile eateries or convenience stores.

Option number 4. He's the most interesting. It consists in the creation of a car park and its further use as a hotel. The main thing here is to divide the trailers into budget, premium and middle class.

This real palace on wheels is based on MAN. The length of the motorhome is almost 9.5 meters, which requires unconditional skills from the driver to drive cars of this class. Everything here is subordinated to the main thing - the maximum comfort of passengers. The interior is designed in the style of luxury yachts - the elegant narrow doors of the numerous cabinets suspended from the ceiling contrast with the high-quality leather upholstery of the sofas and armchairs in the living area. Each lamp, each, even the smallest, interior detail (curtains, for example) fills the space with luxury and splendor.

Specifications:

  • the most luxurious mobile home;
  • spacious bathroom;
  • average price: 23,602,000 rubles.

The base of the camper was created on the basis of the Fiat Ducato truck, as a result of which the car has good handling and stability on the road - the windage of the camper does not exceed the permissible values \u200b\u200bfor this chassis. A spacious and bright mobile home for four people. Light enters not only through the side windows (all are equipped with curtain systems, including the windscreen), but also through the transparent sunroof located in the front of the camper. Expensive and sophisticated interior furnishings accentuate the interior space, while the swivel driver and passenger seats make the living room huge by integrating with the cockpit.

Specifications:

  • better comfort;
  • country of origin: Germany;
  • average price: 13,367,000 rubles.

The motorhome is based on the Mercedes Sprinter 316 CDI and has all the capabilities of this reliable and trouble-free vehicle. And if from the outside the integrated camper does not stand out in any way, it can easily get lost in city traffic, then inside it is a real compact house for 4 people. One drop-down bed is located above the driver's seat and the other two are at the back of the house, behind the toilet and shower. It is noteworthy that these two beds can be transformed into one huge one for the greatest comfort.

Specifications:

  • unique body protection;
  • large luggage compartment;
  • country of origin: Germany;
  • average price: 9 176 188 rub.

Many people now have cars, and in big cities, almost every second resident considers the purchase of a car a necessity. As a result, the number of traffic jams on city streets is constantly increasing, and the time that capital residents and residents of cities with state significance spend on traffic jams is also increasing. The city authorities are solving this problem little by little, but there is a problem associated with this.

Why

In every large city (and especially in megalopolises) there is such a disadvantage that it is not very convenient to talk about. However, getting rid of this disadvantage always has a chance to become a great way to make money, while helping the city. In this article, we will talk about paid toilets, but not ordinary ones, but mobile ones. Recently, entrepreneurs in Moscow and several other large cities have been very active in opening various projects related to traffic jams.

Trade in fresh newspapers and snack bars on wheels, as well as unique baths on wheels, are now working, not so long ago they began to sell audiobooks in traffic jams, but the most important thing is still not enough to create a toilet on wheels. This business has only recently begun to be mastered, therefore the competition here is quite low and this business will certainly become successful, since in a long traffic jam there will certainly be many who want to go out of necessity, since this desire, unlike hunger or boredom, is extremely problematic to overcome. But the business of arranging mobile toilets, of course, is better suited for large and densely populated cities, where it will become more in demand than in the outback.

History

Belgian Marc Callant came up with the idea to adapt a box with a toilet to his own car. The toilet stall has two compartments: the actual toilet on wheels and a waiting room. It is also possible to wash your hands, which favorably distinguishes the device from most familiar dry closets.

Of course, this is only development so far. The price of such a box may well be about six thousand euros.
Not so long ago, a businessman opened a mobile toilet, having converted an Oka car for these purposes. The design of the mobile toilet is patented by the developers. It is a self-contained device that is suitable for all seasons and can fit almost anywhere and extremely quickly move literally anywhere in the city. A toilet on wheels can be used not only in traffic jams, but also, for example, at public events, and also sent to order, for example, for corporate parties or picnics in nature. Pretty practical, isn't it?
