Re: [A/S] Re:waste holding tank maintenance, again

Bob & Glen,
 "Routing the grey water through the black tank to flush things out"
won't work like you'd expect. A regular flush toilet puts several
gallons (at least 1.6 in these new-fangled ones) down the pipe when you
press the handle. As many have found out, even the 1.6 gallons often
isn't sufficient to carry the solids through the sewer pipes, it really
requres 3 gallons. That means that simply draining your sink behind the
toilet flush isn't going to do the job. You need a big "gob" of water to
carry things away if you're to not plug up the downstream sewer system
(even if it would get out of your trailer, which I doubt.

Installing a conventional toilet might be a possibility, if there's
physical room. I'd think you'd want the black tank removed for it to
work best.
