The US Coast Guard certified Sun-Mar Mobile was originally designed for use on boats and RVs. It was only slightly wider and longer than a regular toilet seat so that it could fit anywhere. It ushered in a new era where for the first time people could go wherever they wanted without having to worry about “pump outs”. Travelers could recycle their waste without polluting the waters.
Today’s mobile is a completely redesigned 3 chamber unit with many
improvements but, at 19 ˝" wide by 23" deep, it remains true to the
original concept.
The new mobile is marinized to accommodate violent motion, with
mounting brackets, a finishing drawer that is gasketed in, and a fold up
footrest which can be easily removed to access the finishing drawer.
Mobile units have a 1" drain at the rear, and this should be hooked up so that any liquid which is not evaporated may be drained periodically into a holding tank, small removable container or other approved facility.
- A 12 Volt 5.4 watt fan is incorporated into an external fan/filter box in the 3" vent stack. This fan is on a separate circuit and should be on when the unit is in use to ensure there is no odor. If the vent
exits at deck level, it may be necessary to “polish” the vented air by passing it through filter material supplied for possible use in the fan/filter box. For installation considerations see pages 26-29 of the catalog.
- A 160 Watt 115 Volt heater is incorporated in the sealed heater compartment in the base of the unit for use where 115 Volt shore power is available. The heater should not be powered off the batteries through an inverter because it will drain your batteries very quickly. The fan and heater combine to evaporate 2.5 litres per day when no filter material is in the fan/filter box. For detailed specifications see page 20 of the catalog.
