I checked a lot of threads but could not find one on this subject. I have an Ericson 29 and want to remove the old system and replace with composting toilet. I have read quite a bit on this and I realize to have bags, duct tape, industrial garbage bags, glove, mask, etc. on hand. Also, I have read on the tedious pump out thrice with water, odor controlling agents, etc. to get as much stuff out of the current system before attempting removal.
My question is along the lines of the footprint of the head. They seemed to range between 18 and 20 inches deep; the height and width are not an issue. However the depth is chanllenging because in the head compartment it is only about 12 inches back before you hit the wall. I am thinking that this is facia and that there is 18 inches between the hull and the door to the compartment, but I don't know. Does one need to cut through this facia or attempt to remove it? There are many bolts and it does not look intuitive to me at all.
If someone has gone through this please let me know. Or just general helpful advice would be great. BTW, I also want to know with the tank once removed onto the hard. Can it be taken to the dump/transfer station for recycling or disposal?
Thank you,
