Hey guys, first of all, i'd like to say thanks for all your help! I've learned so much from reading the threads! I'm almost ready to get a trailmanor, but am wondering if I can make the recirculating toilet into a regular portapotti? So my question is: does the recirculating toilet have a flushing valve that lets the waste leave the bowl and enter the tank? When you press the flush button, does it actually open a valve to gravity flush, or is it just spraying rinsing water down the bowl. I looked at the diagram and it appears that theres a cone filter of some sort, but no acutal valve that opens and closes. I'd like to bypass the pick up tube (that uses black water to flush with and just use fresh water to flush with instead (from the shower sprayer). Would this work? I looked at the sealand and cassette toilet mods, but they are pricey and hard to find these days! Just don't want to spend $700 or so on a toilet after spending $12000 for a trailmanor and thinking of ways to make the recirculating toilet work better.
Thanks!
