Incinolet
I did a little research on the Incinolet. After flushing, it "cooks" for 90 minutes and cools for 30. You have to be careful about other electrical use while it's "cooking."
It has a 100 cfm vent fan that pulls in room air, which picks up the smoke and smell and then passes over a catalyst that is supposed to remove that before exhausting the air outdoors. With camping neighbors in close proximity, you'd better hope it does, or you'll probably be evicted.
You must leave the bathroom overhead vent partially open or the Incinolet's fan won't be able to exhaust the smoke and smell. At 100 cfm, in less than every 15 minutes, it consumes the equivalent of an Airstream's entire air volume, which is replaced with hot, humid outdoor air from the overhead vent. And it does this continuously for 2 hours after every flush. The bathroom is going to be hot and humid, and the door won't stop the humidity from spreading to the rest of the trailer. A recipe for mold in South Florida.
It's VERY important that a circuit breaker not trip or the power otherwise go out during its cycle. If it does, the vent fan stops, and smoke and burning feces smell can enter the trailer from the Incinolet room air intake.
The manufacturer claims it uses 1 kw/h per flush, however that depends on how cool the room it is in is kept.
Contrast that with what most semi-permanent RV setups use. That's a PVC pipe (instead of an RV sewer hose) adapted to the RV sewer fittings on each end. You have to go out whenever the black tank is full, pull the handle, wait a couple of minutes, and push the handle back in.
