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!!

As long as it is a straight shot down, shouldn't be a problem. Ours has a 45° offset - and any bend is a place where 'material' can get hung up. Plenty of water is always required.

You don't say how far the drop is from the floor where the toilet will be mounted to the top of the black tank. That will determine the slope of the pipe. The plumbing from our toilet to the black tank runs at about a 45 degree angle. We've never had a problem with it. I "stix 'n brix" homes, the downward angles of the sewer lines are far less than that.

We have a 45 degree slope from toilet to holding tank. No clogging problems. Our down pipe is only about a meter long.
