Yep, I have no projects labeled as urgent, everything on board is working. Even going to a caravan show today, nothing to buy, just look. I may do some home work on a lithium up-grade to our batteries, but its not urgent. Just serviced the van, here's to another nap!

Cinderella incinerating toilet

I'm considering purchasing a Cinderella incinerating toilet for my van. Does anyone have any experience with Cinderella incinerating toilets? They sound great circumventing the need to empty a toilet cartridge every few days.
