However, I am hesitant because my mom had a terrible, TERRIBLE experience w/ a composting toilet in her house. The one she had did not separate liquid from solids. My main concerns are:

1. Flies
2. Smell
3. Amount of time that will be spent caring for my waste (hope I don't gross anyone out with that, but it was the easiest, bluntest way to word it)

Please, please, please reply to this post if you have experience with an Air Head toilet. It will be very and gratefully appreciated!

Thanks! AS Girl
I'm not so sure what an air head toilet is but I installed a dometic vacume toilet in my 56 caravanner. The waste is drawn into the vac tank and then pushed up into the black water tank. No smell whatsoever. The system also has a marine vent filter so there are no smells coming from the vent pipe either.

No cheap but a very good system.
