Let's talk toilets!
Anyone considered retrofitting a composting toilet in their Chinook bathroom? Lots of youtube videos on the benefits for RV's. The European "caravaners" seem to be the leaders in design. Pros... cons?

Composting Toilet?

Re: Composting Toilet?
Based on some cursory investigation a couple months ago, I guess it would go like this:
Pro
You can expand your grey capacity by connecting it to the no-longer-needed black tank
You don’t need to dump a black tank
I guess it’s “greener” (the waste is supposedly just like soil and not as toxic as black sewage)
Doesn’t use water
Con
Expensive (~$1000)
Needs constant 12V, although not much of a draw
You still have to dump “something”
They’re pretty large
I don’t know how they’d work in our wet head while showering. Might have to stick it in the hallway?
You'd have to cut a hole for venting and run power, so there's some installation work involved
