Sounds as if you are flying completely under the radar so to speak.   ;)  Well I can tell you what I have seen done and it works well.

Used a 250 gallon fuel tank sit on legs on the exterior.  A plumbing line was used from the bottom of the tank to the tank of the toilet.  It was all gravity fed. Float activated just like a regular toilet.   A little slower filling the tank of the toilet but when filled it operated basicly the same as a regular plumbed toilet.  One advantage this individual had was that it was located near a stream so once a week or so he used a generator/pump to draw water up from the creek to fill the tank.   But he had a septic tank of sorts whereas you will only have a small pit so I would imagine that it will fill up pretty fast when to add 2 gallon of water to it each time it is used.

Another obsticle will be if it is used in low temperatures and the feed line/tank freezing up.
