There have been a TON of Frequently Asked Questions about installing and using a Nature's Head composting toilet in a RV! We've been using the Nature's Head Composting Toilet in our RV for more than a year now. In our first video, "Composting Toilets What They Don't Tell You" was extremely popular. We received questions like: "Do composting toilets smell"? or "How do composting toilets work? or "How do you empty a composting toilet?, not to mention many, many more questions about using a RV composting toilet.
You asked ALL the dirty questions about the Nature's Head Composting Toilet and we've answered them ALL!. First of all... NO, the Nature's Head Composting Toilet doesn't stink! Really, it doesn't!
Composting toilets are gaining in popularity due to their environmentally friendly nature. Some people love them and some people hate them. Our goal in this video is to talk about the dirty truth when it comes to composting toilets and talk about what you need to know when deciding whether or not a composting toilet is for you.
One of the primary concerns we had when starting our rv lifestyle full time was the need to conserve water. Since we like to boondock as much as possible this was a primary concern. The Natures Head composting toilet uses no water, so it's a perfect solution for RVers who want a top-notch off-grid toilet solution.

Who are we?
We are Brian and Shawnna, a full time RV couple who enjoy the RV Living lifestyle. We are empty nesters who recently quit our corporate jobs, sold our home and auctioned off just about everything we own to live a simpler, more purposeful life in our RV. As Full Time RVers, our goal is to experience life and make awesome RV lifestyle videos for our community. We decided to "retire" from life as we knew it so we traded our stuff for experiences. We travel in a 2008 Winnebago Motorhome (RV) with a preference for RV boondocking. We vlog, blog and update social media with our RV travel experiences, advice and challenges with a goal of helping other RVers along the way - find beautiful places to stay and save money by seeking out low cost campgrounds and awesome boondocking sites. The RV life is a great life, but it's not without its challenges. We plan to share those with you and offer advice along the way.

We used one of these living full time on a boat. We found that putting about 1 inch of vinegar into the urine bottle after we emptied it and before using it again almost eliminated the smell. It also helped keep the salts from building up into the bottle.
@LyfUninterrupted
@LyfUninterrupted 3 года назад
Excellent info! Thanks Brian. We’ve noticed a slow and steady buildup of salts in the urine bottles. Simply using very hot water did the trick early on but not so effective now.

Great, detailed how-to! I can attest to the peat-fly correlation. I had them occasionally (like fruit flies) when using peat and have none since switching to coconut coir. In addition to using a vinegar spritz after each use, I pour a bit of vinegar into the liquid tank after dumping. It helps to prevent the crystals from forming in the first place. I had a little giggle at the number of uses. It brought back the “wees and sticks” chart from the novel “Wifey” from… 30(?) years ago. 🤣

This was good video thank you both. It’s a great topic because some people do use those toilets in Rvs because they feel it works better from what I heard. I heard of people using these types of toilets in tents. But I’m not sure if they use it tent camping. It seems like it is easy to clean but could be messy. But so could cleaning a black tank. Thank you again fir this video. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Have a great week and weekend.

@LyfUninterrupted
@LyfUninterrupted 4 года назад
The C-Head looks like a very good unit. Can you give us some pros/cons of it? Did you install the vent fan option? Which medium do you use? Thanks for watching!
@tomrobinson2919
@tomrobinson2919 4 года назад
We do not use the venting option which might be changed once we get into more humid areas. We use peat moss as a medium and have no odor issues, but it is important that the one gallon urinal bottle portion is which is slightly smaller than other brands that emptying it on a daily basis is a must. I have always been a setter and not a pointer keeping the toilet area much cleaner so the transition to the composting toilet was not an issue for meThe toilet area is directly adjacent to our sleeping area and at no time have we noticed any odors the transition for my wife to a composting toilet took a little practice but at the end of the day she is very happy with the fact that we can remain in one location without needing to find a black tank dumping station.We combined the unused black tank with our gray tank more than doubling our gray tank capacity. Like I said it is our best notification to our Aero Cruiser. PS Currently we are in the middle of the Sonoran desert enjoying the beautiful scenery and whether
@LyfUninterrupted
@LyfUninterrupted 4 года назад

We have used the natures head for years now. We fondly refer to the urine container as the Lemonade Jug. A picture frame with toilet use instructions is hung on the wall behind ours. If you want a level up from the tp burrito, just use doggy bags. They are cheap, usually opaque and has enough room to tie a knot in the end.
@LyfUninterrupted
@LyfUninterrupted 4 года назад
The doggy poo bags are a great idea. Never thought of using those.
@skully7763
@skully7763 3 года назад
But using doggy bags will just create more none bio-degradable waste. Most toilet paper is bio-degradable, so putting it in a small lidded bin where you sprinkle a small amount of the the coconut composting mix over the paper will keep any smell at bay and when you empty your toilet solids you tip that small bin contents in with the solids. No plastics involved. The small bin can be cleansed with vinegar once emptied.

In 1966 me moved to the farm. No indoor plumbing except for a hand pump. We had a outhouse for the first two years. Once we got indoor plumbing the rule changed was the paper went into trash paper. If we were outdoors we used the outhouse. My mom didn’t want to fill the septic tank with paper. Simple.

This has probably been suggested/asked before, but I'm wondering if equine pellets would work for the liquid side? It seems to work well as kitty litter alternative, plus biodegradable. It might help with any overflow and make it easier to transport -- less "sloshy". Just a thought. A big 40lb bag can be bought for $6.

@LyfUninterrupted
@LyfUninterrupted 3 года назад
Most RVers use a standard blank tank and flush the TP. Most of us who have composting toilets dispose of the TP in a separate bin, otherwise the toilet would fill up much more quickly requiring more frequent changing of the toilet.

Note if you live in a trailer,rv,or camper van at a park urine needs to be separated. But if you live on own property I would let it mix together and dump at a compost pile to use for garden. Just note let it sit in compost pile for 1 full year before using as fertilizer. Urine turns into ammonia which is good for gardening and fertilizer but it needs to sit for 1 full year.

We have cesspools and septic tanks where I live, so we never throw toilet paper into the toilet because we don’t want to worry about filling up our tanks. Pumping out a cesspool is very expensive and a hassle because they have to make a mess out of your lawn. We throw the toilet paper into a small, plastic bag lined, 4 gallon trash can (without a lid) next to our toilet...and we don’t make toilet paper burritos. It never ever smells at all. We empty that trash can about every other day. We have been doing this for over 30 years. It has never been a problem...and I am a neat freak germaphobe.

If you had a composting toilet and a wood burner, could you save up your toilet paper and use it in your wood burner? Obviously it would be gone in seconds, but it would get rid of it relatively easily. If so, maybe you could just put it in the wood burner until you next use it. It could get messy/smelly if you don't use the wood burner often.

Did you consider plumbing the urine tank directly to the black tank and eliminate the worst part of a composting toilet: having to dump sometimes daily with the urine container. The urine tank odor is much worse than the solids tank.

While watching about tiny houses one lady puts earth worms in the solids tank and they break down the waste so by the time it needs to be emptied its just soil. They reproduce in there and so when she is dumping it outside she will just keep a few in there with some of the soil. Literally looked just like soil and by then it is broken up so much that she just throws it in an outside composting bin. Not sure everyone is ok with earthworms in their toilet but you only see them when dumping. I found it very interesting

Thank you for the video. I got one in a sailboat I recently bought. What temperature works better in compost or emitting smell. Will it take too long to compost in low temp. I will use in the great lakes and the temp at 70 or below.
@LyfUninterrupted
@LyfUninterrupted 2 года назад
Hello! We find that temps below 50 or so seems to slow composting dramatically. Many people say that compost toilets don't compost. While this may be true that they don't completely compost waste, we can say that they do start the process. This is apparent as the waste is very warm nearly every time we change the toilet.

I don’t have an RV (yet), although I’m interested in composting toilets. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t connect the urinecollection directly to the gray water tank (maybe a bigger size). Combined with biodegradable/natural soaps, etc. It would be safe(r) for nature when dumped since it’s all diluted. The solids bin system should be able to be changed like a cassette style bin. To me this compost toilet can be streamlined a lot for ease of use. Especially if you can make it a built in unit combined with a urinal for men who only want to pee standing up.

We do talk about those issues in our video. We recommend using a separate container if you need to vomit. Diarrhea is OK, but you will need to change the compost material much sooner as a result. Hope this helps.
