[Jay Davenport]

Mike,
Do you have a picture of the installation that George could put on the A30 website?

 My experience is excellent with no regrets. I installed it in the spring and have not yet emptied it. There is no odor. 
The ‘hull shape’ version of the Airhead makes install on the A 30 quite easy. I connected the vent right to the dorade vent in the head.

I can't speak for Mike's, but mine is about the same as Jeff describes.
There's no plumbing to clog, I can go a few months of living aboard
before I have to empty the solids tank, and when I empty it (usually
after I come home from a vacation, so the time away gives the contents a
chance to compost a bit more without new additions) the solids are
difficult to tell apart from rich potting soil (well rich potting soil
with shreds of not-yet-composted TP in it), so emptying the solids tank
is easier and less offensive than getting a pumpout.

Oh, and because there's no plumbing in the composting toilet, I use
WHATEVER TOILET PAPER I WANT, and don't have to worry about the size of
wad either.

I don't have good information on how long it takes to fill the liquids
tank with regular use, because the side of the boat being so close at
hand, prevents regular use from ever happening. I recommend emptying the
liquids tank before each race ;P

-K

P.S. Did I mention that I get to use toilet paper that doesn't suck?
