Re: Replacing head with a composting toilet

Yes, I have read a lot about the bolts. We already have an access panel so I think we are good with that. Next issue is how to remove the holding tank! It is behind the sink head molded area and beside the bench seat storage in the salon. Completely built into the wall from what I can tell. Seven ho...

Replacing head with a composting toilet
I am new to this forum, so if there is already a thread kindly let me know. I did a quick search and only found a comment back in 2013 of someone that replaced their head with a composting toilet. We have a 1987 Freedom 36 and plan to replace the head with an Air Head. I am looking for any advise re...
