 The whole thing is a dry system, and a fan is enough to keep the
stink out? (AMAZE). 

 That doesn't make sense to me, I must be misxsing something. If
there's a flap, poop will smear the wrong side of the flap (and
stink), and all a fan will do is pressurise the box, no matter how
good the airvent is (and blow stink back up the pan. Is there a manual
flap you operate before you do the business? And if it's a dry system,
what about piss?

 I much prefer my intitials. If you're going to start an urban
legend, you might as well make it silly.

JB> Tt wasn't a Crapper who invented the flush loo.

 ROFL! The invention of value was the S bend... and water.

 Even so, there's still the ends of the roof. At a gig, you only need
a foot of free space. The dish focusses quite sharply, so it's not
hard to find somewhere udner the roof to point it up and away from
metal.
