Adding a valve on the toilet?

The toilet in my camper uses a lot of water every time we flush. We typically camp at state parks without a sewer connection, and the black tank gets full quickly because of the large amount of water from flushing. Has anyone ever put some sort of valve on the supply line going to the toilet? The idea is to turn down the amount of water going into the toilet so that the black tank doesn't fill so quickly. If so, I need a recommendation on what type of valve. Thanks.

  • Save water with this little rhyme, works anywhere.

    If it's yellow, let it mellow, if it's brown, flush it down.
  • I don't see how a valve in the water line would help you at all. The amount of water per flush is determined by how much you put in the bowl to begin with and how long you hold down the flush pedal. Once you let up on it or release the hand valve, if that is what you have, then the water flowing into the tank stops. You do have an RV toilet in your rig don't you?
    By the way, with RV's, more water is better. :)
