You made hard work of the removal. For anyone else doing it, you only need to remove 6 screws from the base, 4 of which are under the covers on each side. Then lift it off the wall bracket from inside the van and it's out. No need to remove all those small screws.
Good video Sharon and Pete. We wouldn’t be without ours. A couple of observations. We like the different approach to hydrating the brick. It certainly is easier than breaking it up dry by hand. Given that your ensuite is fairly tight, why not take the whole unit out in two pieces. It would certainly be easier than working in such a confined space. That’s the way I handle ours. Very easy and not too heavy that way. Interesting that you leave a bit of compost behind as an activator. We use the supplied liquid for activation. What’s gonna happen with the hole in the wall? Excellent info!
We had hydrated the brick prior to breaking it up, with the recommended quantity of water but it was till a touch dry when we separated the coir. As a natural material, it won't be an exact science. Thanks for the suggestion, we wanted to see if it could be done and the ensuite is more spacious than most. It is doable, but we were just rookies, with this being our first 'compost' empty.
As well as the larger capacity, I like the simplicity of the Natures Head compared with having an electric motor to move the agitator on the Ogo. That's one more thing which could fail.
It’s easier than it looks. We’re still learning, and it took less time than emptying the cassette overall. They won’t be for everyone, but for us as full time travellers, it’s a lot less hassle!

We realised that after we got it out.

Great video...
Thank you

Looks like a lot of work, I think we will stick to our chemical toilet. Thanks for the vid

Multiple trips to the dump point for you then. Composting toilets are the way to go, no question.
