My v-nose cargo trailer is about to have a composting toilet installed. It will be all the way up front in the center of the "V". I'm working through the best place to install the vent/fan exit for the toilet. The three obvious choices are:
1. On the ceiling covered with a typical plumbing roof vent
2. On the front wall covered with clam shell cover
3. On the floor[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif] covered with clam shell cover[/font]
The ceiling seems like the most obvious but I have a roof fan (MaxxAir) directly above the toilet. Given other constraints, the toilet vent would end up within 6" of the side of the roof fan. Seems like a bad idea if the roof fan is drawing air into the trailer.
The floor is simple but it doesn't seem ideal to have stinky air venting under the trailer.
The front wall may or may not be best. Given other constraints, the vent would need to be within 12" of the centerline so if the stinky air rises and the roof vent above the toilet is drawing air into the trailer, it may pull in some of the stink (but of course nothing like if the toilet vent was on the ceiling next to the roof fan). I'm also worried about driving with the vent on the front of the trailer. I can position it so it is mostly blocked from the main airflow by the propane tanks on the tongue. But I'm worried the force of air from driving will make the vent airflow blow into the toilet instead of sucking it out.
I'd love to hear from those that have dealt with this. Which option seems best? Thanks
