We have had a composting head (Air Head) for several years now and love it. It sits a little higher than a standard toilet but we got used to it. We live aboard and go south every winter and we have to empty the solids container every 3 weeks (2 people). As I recall, composting requires a temp of at least 55 degrees F which is not a problem for us but could be for some people who keep their boats in cold weather. I have more info on my blog...
