Composting Toilet Install

Hello everyone,

I just installed a composting toilet into my 2000 Dynasty. It is an Ogo Toilet. Part of the reason for the install is because our cheap RV toilet started to have problems (again). Had to install a cheap toilet because the original nice porcelain had problems at the beginning of Covid - and the supply of them was gone - so it was a cheap or or nonthing. Cheap worked for over 2 years. 

composting toilets are not for most RVers. To be worthwhile, you must spend most of the time away from dump stations. We full-time and boondock almost all the time. 

Just for those that may consider this option. 

The toilet ring sticks up just under 1/2” above the tile. Because I wanted to retain the capacity to re-add the RV toilet, I put a test plug in the sewer line to plug it up, and laid a 1/2” piece of plywood over the tile.

Fastened it down and put some laminate floor-tile over the plywood. (This is the floor tile we will use when we re-floor the whole MotorHome- but that is a big project). I also closed off the water supply with a plug as close to the floor as I could. 

Here is a photo of the toilet:

We knew the height would be a problem, so we raised the floor and created some more storage underneath.

Finally, the completed project:

So after using it for a week - when it was half built, I believe we will like it. 
For composting toilets the pee goes into a separate container that you dump daily. (Just like peeing in the woods or dumping it into a toilet). The poo goes into a composting medium- peat moss or coco core. Which dries it out and composts it. About once a week or two, you change out.
