[Rhodes22-list] Head Games

[Peter Thorn]

Bill,

Raven came with a "Thetford Marine Aquamate Electronic" porta potti.
Haven't tried it yet, but it looks pretty slick.  I especially like the way
the pour spout is designed to keep the pourer free and clear of any and all
splashes.  Perhaps Mark would comment on other features for you.

I have a Porta Potti in my '87 Rhodes and find it works quite well and is
odor free for the most part.  I don't know how you would hook it into your
holding tank.  You could pick it up and dump it in if you have access to the
tank.  I simply carry mine ashore and dump it into the nearest toilet.
