[Public-List] Public-List Digest, Vol 3836, Issue 2

[Hernán Scarnichia]

I also have an Airhead, also facing forward.
When sitting its a tight fit with knees against the bulkhead. I think if it
was installed facing sideways it could be more comfortable but would
probably not work well, even with the trap door closed if its not level
some liquid will get to the solids tank.
if you want some pics email me off the list.
