Re: Replacing head with a composting toilet

It is behind the sink head molded area and beside the bench seat storage in the salon. Completely built into the wall from what I can tell. Seven ho...

Replacing head with a composting toilet

We have a 1987 Freedom 36 and plan to replace the head with an Air Head. I am looking for any advise re...
