Incenerating Toilet.

Has anyone here had an Incenerating Toilet installed in their Motorhome? It would eleminate the Black Holding Tank. Any Thoughts?

The only place, we've seen them is on commercial boats where they run the big diesel engines pretty much 24/7 so electricity isn't an issue.

We do have a composter on the boat. If you boondock a lot, it's a viable option. If you stay in campgrounds where you have full hookup or access to dump stations, it would be more hassle than it's worth.

The term incinerate used with RV bothers me!

Composting toilet might be better.

We've had them on tugboats and barges, and DW and I used one in a cabin we rented a few years back.
I think I'd rather have the regular RV toilet!

1.) They tend to stink....after all, you are cooking poop!
2.) They use quite a bit of electricity, so you are limited if you boondock a lot.
3.) They are really not for urinating....since you are basically going into a bag that will then be incinerated.
4.) They are pretty expensive, and I don't think you'd see any financial return for the amount of time that you would probably have the RV. The Incinelet in the cabin was OK, because they didn't have access to a proper septic field. They were able to discharge gray water, but not sewage......on the barges, the guys would pee over the side.

As much as I think they would be great for some applications, they really aren't liked by those that use them. As I mentioned, we have one on our barge, and it hasn't been used in 5 years. They guys don't want to stink up the barge office, so they use the 'head' on the tugboat.
