If you look through my “Parts List” you will see all you need to create a Compost Toilet, without spending a Thousand dollars and use lots of battery power in running the motor to keep it turning.

Commercially available composting toilets are expensive, but you are paying for R&D, design, and service for a low volume product. You can certainly assemble one yourself, but it is less likely to be compact, water resistant, etc. None that I know of are as much as $1,000.

One quibble however, the Nature's Head, at least, uses next to no current and it doesn't keep turning. It does have a small fan which is optional. As mine is in a wet bath, water is a big issue and I plan to upgrade my grey water stack with one of these: 360 siphon It gets good press here and elsewhere.

Sounds good. I brought a lot of my 45+ years of backpacking when I switched up to an RV. While I can appreciate the manufacturered Composting toilets, it is not something I am sharing or personally using, or have plans to change from what I have been using for more than 5 1/2 years. Like many things one does for conservation, recycling, you pay more for this, like at Whole Foods and paying a deposit fee on containers and grocery bags. I certainly understand that direction, by authorities, in directing users by fees and taxes, as well as higher costs for products that have other conveniences at a reasonable cost available to the consumer, but not environmentally friendly. Me, I am just a D.I.Y. type of guy.
