Composting Toilet in Basecamp 20X

[Jeffrey Kerr]

Has anyone converted a Basecamp 20X to a composting toilet? I'm being told that the space is insufficient for a conversion.
Thanks,
JK

We put a natures head in our 16 with no issues. Works great.

Any chance you feel like providing some details of your conversion @SchuHouse? I'm waiting on a 2023 Basecamp 16X delivery in November (fingers crossed) that I'm considering converting to Nature's Head. I've seen others interested, too.

There is literally another thread about this with dimensions and photos just 2 threads down from yours when you started this:

Based on its title I probably wouldn't have caught that it was dealing with the same subject but lots of good info in it....

Sorry for the delay

Here is a pic.


We did it from day one so never used the combo tank as a black water, gray only. I had Colonial install it.

My wife made a curtain to cover it when we shower as extra precaution. I would do this again in a heartbeat. Gives us extended use of holding tanks, easy to empty and zero smell.

Sorry for not thanking you sooner, SchuHouse! It's much appreciated!

Does anyone have a lead on a dealer or service center that would do a composting toilet conversion on a 20x?

Have talked to them and they will toilet conversions on a 20x. They are part of an Airstream dealer in Portland OR so their work does not void any Airstream warranties.

Image is from their page, looks like a Nature's Head composting toilet.

They are booked up till January, 2023.

For me, I have a dilemma. I have a deposit in on the REI Basecamp 16x with the composting toilet option but am torn over wanting more space....so many tradeoffs...

The Thetford Porta Pottis are under $200 (Amazon or dealer direct) and could give you what you need while you wait... I think one just might fit in the BR of the 16 and avoid use of the installed toilet that would create black water - if that's your thinking. I'm leaning that way myself as I wait for delivery of mine... Awkward BR setup? Maybe... but saves space for just gray water in the 16... Cheap - relatively. Opportunity to get in line for composting toilet install or think about DIY... Just a thought., CR-Rylie,..
