IThis is the best investment we made for our tiny home. Our home is a sailboat, so you know what that means. Yes, they have stinky heads on all boats. Well since we were not fans of the odor coming from smelling black water tank my hubby suggested a composting toilet. At first, I was like you want a what? A compost toilet what is that? Well turned out to be awesome and so easy to take care of. A compost toilet is portable, self-contained, urine separating dry toilet. Meaning there are two separate sections for #1 and #2.
The natures head is perfect for any tiny home, boat, and RV or any off grid home. The unit is self-contained with sections, so it has no foul odors. There is also a low voltage fan that is built into the unit that also helps compost and circulate the air. It is very rugged and made with all stainless hardware. This product was designed by two long time sailors who knew what would work best on boats or small spaces. I bet your thinking its hard to take care of well you are wrong. I purchased an extra tank for urine, so I only have to empty it once a week. The #2 area is also easy to take care of as well. I change out the compost every two to three months depending on how much use it gets. You will know its time when it is hard to crank the handle any longer. Most of the time it is two adults using it but not daily since we are able to use the marina bathroom too. To take care of the compost I just open the unit and take the urine container out and take to the nearest rest room to dump super simple. As far as the compost section that is simple to just open unit after removing the vent hose, urine container and just dump into a composting bag or a garbage bag. We then only clean off the crank handle because I don’t want to disturb the natural compost in the bin. Once clean I then fill it with Nature’s coconut coir which comes from 100 percent natural byproduct of harvesting coconut. That’s it so simple to take care of. I also added a portable potty just in case you didn't have time to empty your tank. If you are tired of the smelly odors from you head, then this product is for you. It is the best addition we ever made to Sv Iron Maiden.

I want to tell you about my fridge and freezer that I use in my tiny home.
My fridge is a Edgestar fridge/freezer. I use it as a fridge, but it can be used as either. The fridge draws only one amp which is good when you are limited on power. We run it off solar energy only and using 12 volts. The fridge can also be run off 120 volt as well. This fridge is very durable to withstand a rocky cruise and even kept all our food cold during a hurricane. I know when people think tiny living they think you need a small fridge but, the truth is there are some things you want to sacrifice space for plus this great fridge comes in many sizes. The fridge holds about two to three weeks’ worth of groceries which is great for provisioning. The storage space consists of two bins one large and one small. It can be a challenge to see what you have so keeping track of what goes in and out is important. You tend to use all the food, so you really don’t waste much. This Edgestar fridge/freezer will make a great addition to any tiny home. This is not sponsored by Edgestar but purchasing from my link with help my page. Thank you for reading my blog and remember to keep living the dream but tiny. |
