[Rhodes22-list] Where's the holding tank?

[peter klappert]

Bob--

Thanks. Though I knew it wasn't likely, if the holding tank was under the head the height issue would be easier to resolve.

Since the boat won't be at a marina, I mostly want to avoid the need for pump outs (as well as possibly add a little storage space.)

In the V-Berth area beside the fresh water tank.  Lift the V-Berth cushions and 
the wood covering and there she is. 


If I had it to do over again, I would have tried the Airhead on our Tartan 37.  
We feel okay with the current toilet set up on our R22 as we do no do extended 
cruising.

Can someone tell me where the holding tank for the marine toilet is located?

I'd like to try to substitute an Airhead composting toilet for the standard 
marine head in the R22-in-progress. Advantages: no water required, no holding 
tank, macerater, Y-value, thru-deck or thru-hull openings (except for a mushroom 
vent). Toilet paper isn't just ok, it's a plus. No need to find pump-out 
stations or empty the porta-potty, & you end up with free fertilizer for the 
flower garden. 


Figuring out if or how it might be done is up to Stan, who says "We'll try 
anything once." But I'd still like to apply my head to the problem--if it is a 
problem. The main difficulty will probably be the height of the unit: about 18" 
with the lid up (and everyone has to sit to pee with the Airhead).  


Has anyone ever tried to make this modification?
