Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Residential toilet
Permalink  

Does anyone know why or why I shouldn't put a residential toilet in my RV. Weight is no issue, as I pull with a F350 dulley. I just don't like the RV toilets, and for the life of me I see no reason why I can't put a space saving and water saver one in. The one I am looking at flushes with just .08 gallons and 1.6 gallons. Also has anyone switched over their hot water tank to the new tankless(RV 500). It's says it's Uses less propane and a endless hot water at 120 degrees. I can't seem to find anyone that has it or has seen it in use.

I see a couple of potential problems, RV toilets typically are closed systems, opening to the holding tank path only occurs during the flush, there is always a positive lock to the holding tank. Also some RV toilets like ours have a built in Macerator, waste gets broken down immediately during the flush. You mentioned water consumption, not sure but I think RV toilets use less. What don't you like about the RV toilet? There are so many available out there, they are very much like your home toilet...G

There are lots of issues. But the biggest one for an RV that moves is that the relatively great amount of water in the bowel is going to slosh around a lot.

What is not to like about the better RV toilets? They are nicely sized, full china, and you can get electric flush if you so desire.

Try a search on line for a small on demand water heater. I believe I have seen one for rvs, the plumbing fittings are different from a residential unit. I replaced the toilet with an rv china toilet, it is heavier so you have to make sure your floor supports are stronger. Pieere
