This is my first post on the forum so bear with me. Not sure if this info is around anywhere else but anyway... Me and my girlfriend have been continuously cruising on our new build widebeam for 1.5 years with a cinderella motion 12v gas toilet in the bathroom. Thought I'd chip in here with my info about using the toilet. My overall thoughts about the toilet are its great, if you can afford it go for it. It's obviously more expensive than other styles of loo but we are happy to pay for the convenience and cleanliness. I have 4x 100ah Leoch batteries, and a gas locker that holds 4x 13kg bottles. We go through about 1 bottle every 2 weeks, so thats toilet use and cooking use. Obviously working from home has pushed this usage up and considering we got our boat just before lockdown 2 we have no idea otherwise. The toilet is recommended not to be used more that 4 times in an hour. The toilet bags that cost £45 per box last roughly 4 months. Every time you flush the toilet it starts the burn cycle which last 45 minutes, a series of low power burns and cooling by the sounds of it. The fan is a bit noisy but not too bad, just another noise on the boat. You don't have to flush straight away, for example if in the evening we are low on power and its past 8pm just leave it till the morning, then start the engine when you get up and flush. Never a problem in summer with solar. Battery power consumption wise it seems fine, but I don't know any different. We run our engine for probably 2-3 hours a day in the depths of winter and in summer our solar covers everything. We have a porta pottie in the cupboard just incase of emergencies, we used it once when we forgot to order toilet bags! Durr. Hope that gives a bit of info to people who need it, happy to answer any questions.
