-A simple composting toilet can be made with a seat and a bucket.  It is very cheap but has significant shortcomings compared to the commercial models: 
-  * no liquid diversion - one must arrange a separate system for urine; it //cannot// go into the bucket.  Female RVers may want to look into [[http://amzn.to/2lZutid|clever and collapsible "go girl" funnels]] which allow them to pee standing up (and into a bottle).   
-  * no agitation - before inital use a liner is installed and a layer of media is added to the bottom.  Thereafter each deposit is covered with fresh media (typically sawdust).   
-  * will probably not qualify as [[toilet:self_contained|self-contained]] 
  
-The [[https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=privy%20500&tbs=imgo:1|Privy 500]] is a urine-diverting seat designed for tiny house installations. It might be adaptable to a bucket system, running the liquid into a nearby milk jug or similar.  The [[https://tinyhouseontario.com/2012/02/24/building-a-urine-separating-composting-toilet/|shipping box has a cut-out template]] printed right on it.   +A simple, solids-only composting toilet can be made [[toilet:bucket|from a bucket]].
