First one was too short, so next one will make the size and height of the household toilet. The beauty of doing the wag-bag is no need for a fan, mixing paddle or anything besides the bag & media! Poo and pull the bag! Pee goes in a bottle with a water trap (bend in the line) so no smell there either.
I also just couldn't handle the costs of those commercial so called composting toilets.

So your just putting a trash bag in the bucket with the media? I'm going to run a hose into plumbing line under trailer and into a porta tank I've had and never really used.

I think that's the whole point. To truly be composting, the toilet has to be in continuous use. They don't work on an intermittent camping use.
Agreed! I see it more as the compost pile is continuously working. Takes far too long for it to stay in the toilet base..
If you go the poo bag route, are you planning to bury the plastic poo bags? Or will they be stored for disposal at a later time?
We've had a Thetford porta potty for years. Easy to use; easy to dispose; no stink; not much hassle. In my opinion the use of a (make believe) composting toilet is not worth trouble or environmentally friendly.
