My eagerly anticipated Nature's Head composting toilet arrived in the mail yesterday.  I unpacked it as fast as I could so as to fine tune my installation plan before the weekend.   I was very impressed with the sturdiness of the...

Nice write up - but if you are feeling the rocking when you sit, and you think it may be in your mind, are you saying you are sitting on your...never mind... Glad everything is able to move through okay!

BIG E, Your new toilet the foot flush on ours in the 5'er is on the other side. The ball valve will act up with age. I am having to replace ours for the second. By the way the inside bowl is it plastic or china bowl? Ours is the china bow. Now the TC that is a different critter, does not hold its water it leaks through the slide mechanism straight into the black tank. Have you tried super fine steel wool to remove the rust stain on the floor. Just a thought I had. Nice work on the install...

Capt PJ- We put the same toilet in our 920, and if it works in our small bathroom, it will surely work in your's. We used the Low Profile model (Thetford 42170) because our toilet also sits on a raised platform (my legs still dangle a bit). This was one of our better mods, but of course your results may vary... -Grayden

Can you post a link? Composting toilet is on my wish list.

https://community.lanceowners.org/top...-toilet-installation

Now that I've had the unit in use for a full year perhaps I can finish my review. The Nature's Head works by separating liquids and solids. The liquids are very high in nitrogen. You can pour them into any toilet. (Or around trees.) The solids are dried. As they dry, the bacteria die off. All that is left is fiber. The solids can go into the landfill. Mine looked so innocuous that I used them as a soil amendment for a tree I was planting. The head is very easy to use and maintain. Due to the...

Great thread. Thanks for the follow up. Has anyone installed a composting toilet in a wet bath and if yes, how is it working, are you able to keep the shower water from the dry lumps?

I looked at the installation videos and set of instructions that are on the Nature's Head web site and discovered that the 830 might not have enough room for an install. The width I have available is 19" and the unit is 17.4" wide. The literature shows that there is 2" needed for the sideward movement to unmount the toilet for it to be emptied. I need to do some more research. One concern was the location of the fan mounted on the side of the toilet getting wet. Many put the fan on the other...

Great summation Kaypee. Our next TT (years from now) will either have a cassette toilet or a composting toilet. And the black tank will be used for additional grey water right from day 1. Your input on this continues to be very valuable.

You got me thinking so, I got my wife to surf the net with me. We spent last night looking for compost toilets. Here are the 4 major makers that I found. Natures Head http://www.natureshead.net/tin...SKnswCFZNgfgodIB8G-w Air Head http://airheadtoilet.com/ Separett https://www.separett-usa.com/i...terless-toilets.html C Head http://www.c-head.com/ All four have advantages. One thing that the C head focused on was taking the urine and directing it into holding tanks instead of the bottle in...

Jim - Here is some very good info. (you have to ignore how over-the-top upbeat they are): http://www.gonewiththewynns.com/composting-toilet http://www.gonewiththewynns.co...toilet-big-questions http://www.gonewiththewynns.co...-fleetwood-excursion http://www.gonewiththewynns.co...cks-solving-problems http://www.gonewiththewynns.co...e-rv-black-grey-tank

I saw them all a while back. I showed them to my DW last night. We are leaning toward Natures Head. It appears to have more what we are looking for. The big issue for me is can it easily convert to allow the liquids to dump into an on board tank. I'll probably end up calling when I get a chance. A few of the youtube videos we watched last night showed toilets that I wouldn't want to use. One was absolutely were filthy, and so was the language of the hostess.

"Thomas Crapper did not invent the flushing toilet, nor does the word crap derive from his name." (in this case that is a piece of tom crapper, er poop decomposing)

@Jim, you said: Once the fiberglass is in place the toilet can be hooked up to the venting, and a pipe installed to the urine collector that would lead to a drain pipe connected to the gray tank under the sink. Am I understanding correctly that you're suggesting draining the urine collector into your gray tank along with other waste water created when washing dishes, showering, etc.? Shouldn't you then always dispose of your mixed "gray" water in a human waste repository? Otherwise, gray...

I have a 1995 on order and want to install a Nature's Head composting toilet. Do you have any hints, comments, etc on the installation in the 1995? The bathroom is small and there isn't a lot of space around the standard toilet. Did you have any issues in getting it to fit? Ideally I would like this to be one of my first mods so that the black tank is "pristine"

I have full documentation of my installation here: https://community.lanceowners.org/top...-toilet-installation I'm not sure if any fastener sizes have changed from the 2014 model. And if your black tank vent is in a different location that would impact the installation as well. I am well into my second camping season with the toilet and am still completely satisfied with it.

I also have a composting toilet thanks to Kaypee, so far my wife and I love it, me mostly because it is a quick dump into a garbage bag after many days of use. Yes as a beer drinker I do have two urine liquid bottles. Some day we will have to figure the liquid intake/outgoing LOL. I have done mod's on our NH to make it bathroom friendly for a 1995 which are posted on the "resource forum". Our black tank has never used.

Thanks Kaypee and Gsymes for the info! From what I've read in the Composting Toilet Installation post, it seems I need to order as follows: 1) Spider handle option for confined spaces. 2) Right-hand hinge 3) Extra urine tank (optional, but obviously handy!) Are there any other options from the manufacturer that you would recommend?

We had a composting toilet in our boat. I think you're going to like it - they work great! ...and no more searching for a "pump-out", Oh, I mean "dump" station (we're land lubbers now - almost forgot!)

I thought I would make a list of stuff, products that have worked well for us. Some of the items are fan favorites, tried and true and widely used and accepted across the LOA spectrum of members. Others are little known, sleeper products if you will. Some have been passionately debated and others, not so much. Hope this list can be of use to somebody. To start things off simple, toilet paper. White Cloud Green Earth available at Wal Mart. Broke down more quickly than every other TP I tested,...

Back in September I changed out the stock toilet in our camper, a Thetford Aqua Magic V hand flush for a Thetford Aqua Magic Residence foot flush. After two camping trips with the new toilet Cyndi and I both agree it was a good change. Here is the stock toilet I removed. And here is the new toilet. Staying with the same brand helped to eliminate any dimensional problems. I looked at some of the offerings from Dometic but there would have been a clearance issue between the toilet and the back...

We are fortunate here to camp year 'round. We dry camp 95% of the time. Much of that here in CA means no access to a dump station either. For example, our local SP cg is just 15 minutes away and we quite frequently run up there for spur-of-the-moment 1 or 2 night stays. It does not have a dump station. Nor is there a dump station anywhere in between our house and there. Our local fairgrounds does have a dump station and it's only $5.00, but it is out of our way and really silly to have to...

I bought the IllumiBowl from Kickstarter.com because I was not happy with my kids turning on the lights in our trailer in the middle of the night when they had to pee. It seemed like a simple solution for under$10. I’m really happy with my purchase so far. No more blinding lights at night and my kids love it. Easy install and everyone who sees it gets a kick out of it.
