Smile Recirculating Toilet

Hello TM Nation
I’ve had my 2008 2619 TM for almost 6 months now.
Can anyone tell me if there is holding tank(black water tank) under the toilet?
If so, how much does it hold?
AND, is it possible to pull the lever when the gauge is full… Charge the toilet again use it for a bit longer??
I am fully aware that when the gauge is showing FULL, the lever at the bottom of toilet is to be pulled, empty the contents at a dump station ( black first then grey water).
Just curious to know if what I explained above is at all possible
I know they’re a lot of knowledgeable and seasoned TM comrades out there and if you guys are able to shed some light on this matter, it would greatly be appreciated. I think you ahead of time !!

There is not a black tank underneath. The toilet is the black tank. But if the toilet is full and you need just a little bit more capacity to make it one last overnight, here’s a little trick… Make sure the outside dump valve is CLOSED. Double check that it’s closed, otherwise you’ll be in for a rude surprise later. Now pull the inside valve underneath the toilet. The stuff in the toilet will drop down into the plumbing underneath, giving you about an additional gallon of capacity. Now when you get to the dump station just hook up the hose pull that outside valve to dump like normal.

Thank you Shane826 for your reply
I DO NOT want any surprises so checking that the valve outside is in the closed position is a MUST.
So in order to get that extra gallon or so that you’ve explained, after releasing the contents into the plumbing, would I have to close the lever that’s at the bottom of the toilet and recharge the toilet with clean water once again or would that take away from the extra gallon of space that you’ve talked about ?

Nope it just lets the contents in the toilet fall down into the plumbing to make a little extra room. Don’t do this to start or else you’ll have to just fill the pipe with water in order to charge the toilet so it will flush. Use the toilet a bit and when it gets towards full, pull the inside valve. It won’t empty the toilet just kinda move stuff down a bit.
