Also saves you from carrying around a tote you may or may not use. That being said, some have been able to fit a tote on the spare tire rack behind the tire, so it's there if you need it and out of the way if you don't. Again, different use model.

If, on the other hand, you don't have that need (toilet swapped for another model, don't stay long enough to need the extra capacity, etc) certainly a local "cut/paste" to add a Y connector is a lot less work.

Our toilet was swapped for a Curve (cassette) partially because we, too, had separate dump outlets, and also because I felt the cassette would be an easier use model for my family than the recirc.
I have considered doing the "long pipe" mod... But I also own a tote... But have never used it. Seems like a gigantic hassle. Does anyone have "step" pictures or diagrams of the long pipe mod? Also here's another silly Q.. How is it employed? Let the recerc get mostly full, pull the handle. Then re"charge" it?
