Modified Nature’s Head

[Wandering Sagebrush]

This video shows a Nature’s Head toilet modified to drain the liquids into the gray water tank (which seems very wrong, it should go to the black water tank).   I don’t want to change ours, but I’m curious if anyone in the Oliver community has done this.  Comments?

Several have modified the toilet to drain the liquids into the black tank. The folks that showed us their trailer before we ordered ours had just completed the job that day. I remember that one member here had changed the bathroom sink to drain into the black tank, as well, to avoid urine crystallization problems. Plus, that saves some of the gray tank space.

If/when we switch to an AirHead toilet, those are the modifications I plan to make.

The Natures head sits right on the black tank so the mod should be pretty straight forward. I could see making this change down the road. At the same time, emptying the urine jug in the local toilet is about as easy as it gets. I have considered getting a second jug and cap for those occasions where emptying isn't immediately possible.

We have been using the "second jug" method and it's worked out pretty well for us.

Changing the sink connection to the black tank, if using the tank for just urine, makes a lot of sense. Many rv bath sinks drain to the black tank.

The Swedish separett toilet has a line that can be dedicated to a tank or drain field. I'm kind of surprised that natures head, and airhead haven't already marketed a connection, as most rv toilets are mounted right above the black tank.

A PS.. though I have the separett in my barn, I dislike almost everything about it, except the black tank line connection, and its clean lines and smooth cleanability.  Don't even think about it for an rv,  imo. Its nothing but a very expensive portapotty.

I use a Home Depot bucket.  Easy to clean and cheap.

Airhead had a connection kit on their options page last year. I just looked to link it, and it is no longer there. All they offer now is a fitting for the bottom of the urine bottle.

Honestly,  there are many times I wish we had skipped the complicated install of the separett, and just put a luggable loo (home depot bucket and a snap seat and cover) in the corner. 

Easy to clean. No worries.  Rarely used,,anyway. And, I'd be $900 ahead, at least .

For the extra money, I get a more "attractive " and stable install, no smell. Don't have to dump it evey day. 

In the barn, we installed a urinal for the guys. Pee bottles + luggable loo would still be many $ ahead.
