Having spent a lot of time chasing odors in our Mk V, I am now to the point of trying to prevent future odors. I have read and appreciated all of the postings on the subject of odors. I noticed some discussion of using only fresh water to feed the head. My question is, has anyone rigged their head that it is fed by their fresh water tank? Does anyone know of a reason not to do this? We do not use our boat much for overnighters and usually bring bottled water for drinking. Thus, the water in our fresh water tank does not get cycled much. We see a fairly clear path for running the necessary plumbing hose. I would be interested in any thoughts. Thanks in advance. Gary

If you re-read the article in Black Arts, it does not suggest using fresh water for every flush, but for a last flush before leaving the boat. Lugging around a tankful of water just to flush the toilet strikes me as overkill.

I have nothing to base my opinion on, except my nose, but it is my impression that once I disconnected the raw water intake to the head, odours diminished 85%-95% . A few years back, I replaced the worn-out hand pump at the sink in the head area with an electric pump so its easy to "prime" the bowl for #2 with some fresh water using a large plastic glass-full and to follow a 'pump-dry' with a shot of fresh water to rinse the bowl and leave it clean.
