Randy, Thanks for suggesting the BW tank to FW tank modification. I was glad to see a new thread start up on the Composting Toilet option so we could discuss the actual toilet and not lobby Oliver Trailers for a dual Fresh Water tank mod. I realize that some folks are interested in that but we already had one thread that was covering it pretty well. As for the Toilet Ladder...... Yes, that is definitely something to consider. It doesn't bother me too much and I have not heard a lot of complaints from the 5'4" better half. We had a nice visit to Cherry Hill state park in PA to see the meteor showers and I dumped some coffee grounds in the solids tank one morning. I read that this was a good idea to control odor somewhere on the net, and just put some in for the heck of it.... NOT because it was needed. For two people the liquids tank gets emptied every other day or so. Not an unpleasant task. I can't imagine having to deal with the busted Slinky scenario and quite frankly was not looking forward to having to deal with an un-busted one either. I am still new to the CT experience, but am happy to answer any questions I can.... and to resist the urge to make up silly answers for those I can't.

There is no reason you can't use the new black tank as a fresh water tank. You could fill it from the rinse out and the way the opening is configured (don't ask how I know) you can easily fabricate a cap with a pex tub connection and hose that goes down to the rear corner and then run a pex line to "tee" into the rear draw line and just run the pump to refresh the main from it. Easy-Peasy. Then when you sell, remove the cap and install a toilet and it's all normal. The opening is also large enough you can probably patch the opening for the drain line too. Just keep in mind, you need a ladder to use the Nature's Head, it is a full 7 inches higher than the one that's in there now.

Having just experienced a total failure of the stinky slinky at the trailer sewer fitting with a dump in a campsite I am inclined to go composting toilet. More capacity, sanitary, earth friendly, less effort, no potential for spills.
