Re: [A/S] waste holding tank maintenance



Charlie, to reduce solid build-up in the black water tank, I cut a hole in
the floor near where the toilet used to be, installed a garbage disposal
unit down in the floor almost to the belly skin, sealed it with foam, hooked
up a water line and ran a 1 1/2" eject line to the black water tank.
Installed the toilet on a platform over the disposal, which extends about
three inches above the level of the floor. I would have to raise the toilet
that amount anyway since my wife has had both hips replaced and needed the
extra toilet height. We can put anything in the toilet. Works great.
