:angel: Part of the allure of the RV life is getting "off the beaten path".
However, our dependence on water, sewer and electric make for a very different kind of "reality" as anyone familiar with cold nights or cold showers (without an electric hook-up) or hauling water around in jugs (for flushing the toilet) or the intricacies of emptying/cleaning black water tanks well knows!
We addressed the electric need with a costly solar set-up and we live with jugs of water stashed in the necessary places. However, the black water problem has proved a little more complicated.
Enter "Nature's Head Composting Toilets"!
I've seriously been considering pulling out the existing toilet AND maybe even the black water tank with the idea of using the space for a second fresh water tank and getting a composting toilet.
A lot of my thinking is based on my studies of composting toilets through the internet and there's a wealth of information out there on this subject. I was wondering if anyone else out there has looked into this to the point of actually doing it and what their experience has been.
As we slowly work to shed the "tethers" of RV parks, those untraveled roads and unexplored havens seem ever closer! Anyway, this just might be a "path" worth going down! (Now if I could just figure out how to get my Big Horn to be happy "off-roading"!)
