WOW, I had been considering a compost toilet, after seeing one on a boat…the owners loved it.They are $. This may be the answer. Thanks for your info. Question:how do you secure the bag inside your toilet bowl? in other words…how do you hold it on? I understand you reuse it? do you have to close the bag between each use? Has anyone considered cat litter?..how could that work?..shake the bag?I don’t understand if they have better methods in a motor home, why boats can’t be same…If you have an RV…and can explain y we can’t have refrigerators that convert to Gas/or electricity…and a simple toilet like in the rv.On the compost toilet…Peat moss is used with Rid X…an arm rotates…and in 3 months you slide out the container, and an odorless fine dust like is poured into a bag, and tossed…all bio friendly.This is all great for boat owner, but probably will be frowned upon by city dweller friends.I

They seem to work o.k. You can use ;em in any kind of toilet, including a bucket. They have a powder inside that turns liquids into solids and renders them more or less stable. Then you can dispose of them in the trash or dumpster. I ordered a bunch of bags and some extra magic powder. The company is Phillips

My parents have a propane/electric refrigerator on their Schucker
motorsailor that they love. They have been looking for a propane
water heater as well, since they spend a lot of time on anchor and
don’t want to burn diesel just to take a shower.
The problem making the conversion from R/V to Marine use is that the
marine environment is generally more harsh than an R/V’s world. Also,
most R/V water heaters are designed to have an outside panel, which
makes them harder to mount in a boat where you’re trying to keep the
weight down low.
As far as marine composting toilets go, have you looked at
the “airhead?” It’s a little on the expensive side but people who
have them seem to swear by them.
