Ericson 27 Composting Toilet

[Seawitch]

Hello! I am way past due for my head hoses to be changed and I was thinking about just switching the whole thing out with a composting toilet. Has anyone with a 27 went down this road? If so, could you let me know what toilet model worked for you? The platform the head sits on is on the small side so I am looking to see what has worked for anyone that has made the change, and if it has been successful upgrade.
Cheers!

I don't have any experience with this, but this article may be of help. As I recall, one of the things to work out is the routing and location of the vent. Using the search function in this site may turn up other useful information.

Not a 27 so our platform is different, but our OGO composting toilet has served us well on our 31 Independence for over three years. It’s a few inches smaller in each direction than some other brands and fit in our space very nicely. If your mounting space is limited it’s worth a look.
