[Rhodes22-list] Where's the holding tank?

[Wickman, William E]

Please let us know if you get the Airhead and how it works out.  I have used a small porta-pottie with good success, but have also thought about getting the Airhead.  I am in the camp of not putting a full marine head on the Rhodes because it is just another system that can break.  The topic of marine head versus porta pottie on the Rhodes has been discussed (or debated) in the past so you may want to look in the archives.

Can someone tell me where the holding tank for the marine toilet is located?

I'd like to try to substitute an Airhead composting toilet for the standard marine head in the R22-in-progress. Advantages: no water required, no holding tank, macerater, Y-value, thru-deck or thru-hull openings (except for a mushroom vent). Toilet paper isn't just ok, it's a plus. No need to find pump-out stations or empty the porta-potty, & you end up with free fertilizer for the flower garden. 

Figuring out if or how it might be done is up to Stan, who says "We'll try anything once." But I'd still like to apply my head to the problem--if it is a problem. The main difficulty will probably be the height of the unit: about 18" with the lid up (and everyone has to sit to pee with the Airhead).   

Has anyone ever tried to make this modification?
