OILET F O QUIPPED
Depending on your RV model/floor plan, it may have either a portable (cassette)
chemical toilet, or a regular RV toilet/shower combination.
Portable (Cassette) Chemical Toilet:
This toilet has two tanks joined together, the upper has clean water used for
flushing, the lower tank is the waste tank. NEVER add deodorizer into the upper
water tank. For specific instructions on how to dump the waste tank refer to the
manufacturer's manual.
It is important to prevent solid waste buildup. Follow the toilet manufacturer's
recommended instructions each time after emptying the black water holding
tank.
RV Toilet/Shower Combination:
Some models have a standard RV toilet
that is installed
compartment as the shower (Fig 8.13).
The shower then has a black water
holding tank under it to contain the
waste/water from both the shower and
the toilet. Refer to the Black Tank
Drain section.
The toilet is efficient and easy to operate. Generally, more water is required only
when flushing solids. Prior to using the sanitation system, it is strongly
recommended to flush the toilet several times to release sufficient water into the
holding tank. If there is not a sufficient amount of water used during flushing, the
waste materials may not evacuate properly from the drain line to the tank. Clogged
tanks and pipes could eventually occur.
The toilet system will perform better when water is allowed to run for ten to fifteen
seconds after flushing to ensure that the waste will proceed to the bottom of the
tank. Simply hold the lever down to run water into the tank. Unlike a toilet in a
home, which uses four to seven gallons (18-32 liters) of water per flush, the
average recreation vehicle system uses one to three quarts (1-3 liters). For added
convenience and better sanitation system performance, it is advisable to always
have four to six inches (10-15 cm) of water in the toilet bowl.
To help prevent toilet blockage, always use RV grade single-ply toilet paper. Do
not flush paper towels, diapers, sanitary napkins or other foreign objects down the
RV toilet.
