all encompassing title, just trying to help out for future searches.. Smiler

Found this great site: mod my rv.. and found several ideas that I'm interested in.

1- using gray water to flush your toilet. Looks like a separate pump/lines, system from gray tank to toilet would be needed so no contamination finds its way into the rest of the fresh water system.

here's that thread.. Grey water flush

2- Always thought that when black water tank is being emptied, it would be a second cleanse, after black tank is emptied, to empty gray water into the black tank so you could have a second flush, so to speak..I guess with tank placement in the barth (Gray/Black), the gray isn't 'above' the black so not able to gravity feed it..

3- a macerator.. found these threads using the search function.. looks like newest post is 3 years old..anything new to contribute..?



..just musing.. hmm

The typical RV toilet uses about 1 qt. of water per flush. Any mods like these have, IMHO, the added attraction of one more thing to maintain (or break down).

That said, I did install a bypass valve to recirculate hot water through the FW tank to avoid freezing...

In either case the idea is quite staggering.

Phred Tinseth's Poop Sheets tip# 3 talks about the current mention..however all info is from 2002, so might not 'stick' anymore..
