How to Poop better using your RV Toilet in pictures ...

As a Physiologist, I am not allowed to offer personal Medical Advice on this forum, as it should be.

So I am going to have other Professionals, experts in their field , off some vetted answers that apply to all of us Humans, via links provided below in a subsequent post.

And yet, so many posters are interested in removing what for many owners of unmodified rigs is one of the least appealing responsibilities, dumping the Black Tank.

Not realizing that the first process of needing a Black Tank in most RVs, is fundamentally compromised.

I modified my whole black tank system in part to solve one critically overlooked issue of the traditional system (I still have it entirely intact, sealed & ready for extra storage if needed).

Namely as I prone to repeat, the first part, the issues of traditional toilets when adding to a Black Tank/Evacuating the large bowel.

Specifically the fact that your typical toilet/throne is in too tall a position, usually 6 inch high platform on a Roadtrek at least.

I removed the Toilet, capped it (see a link below) and added a square design*, Thetford 5.5 Gallon Porta Potti which is primarily my upgraded but small by 50% black.tank.

However now I can remove it from the shower stall where it is transported, place it facing the rear shaped dinette, place my heels onnthe raised platform which is 2 inches higher on the Roadtrek & make my deposit, rinse the bowl with the extended shower hose & then place the unit back in the cubby.

There are commercial products one can buy but many owners won't necause they are not collapsible & they take up.too much space, especially in a Class B.

For tjose of you who are inventors, this has to be a large worldwide market outside of just Class Bs, Cs & As.

I don't need to go into the details here, these articles can & nor will I detail the other benefits of using a Porta Potti versus a Public Dump Station.

The last article is for the Rocket Scientists amongst us & what happens NASA Style.

A Visual.

Thats Grade A Marine Teak on Top of the old platform.

You can the water damage to the faulty thetford connections that fail over time, you are seeing where the lower plumbing comes off an attachment ar the tank & is then connected to another fitting which is screwed down into the toilet platform.

The toilet sits next to a plastic bin that contains the shower & extended hose.

I put an LED Light under the top shelf of Shower/Toilet cabinet to help me aim in the middle of the night.

TMI - probably not when you consider that at night the aisle light only serves to throw a shadow at a time when aim & illumination is critical.

Everyone asks "What are those white vents in your bathroom & into some of your other cabinets ...?"

Those vents on the side were previously plumbed in places with an air pump connected to a very high quality Diffuser by Aromis.co WITHOUT the M as in .com. I use Aromis Organic Essential Oils & one other distributor only in my Physiology Practice for the simple reason 98% of all other Essential Oils are made with Petrochemicals.

That's right, 98%* of all Commercial Essential Oils are made with Petrochemicals. The very same molecules that enter your first lines of Immune Defenses, the Skin & Nasal Passages.

Its far easier & cheaper to create oils with this process for many years versus Organics. To the point that the average person if asked to choose which is natural versus artificial will pick the product mafe with Petrochemicals versus a Natural, Organic oil.

*probably much higher

I added the light colored pine ply that has notched edges & has been routed to fit over the plumbing that mounts atop the teak platform.

This way there is no risk of puncturing the cassette while traveling.
