Hi everyone and thanks for your comments. I wish I could install a black water tank, but I crawled under the trailer and I don't think there is any possible space for a tank to fit. It is a double axle trailer and it very low to the ground already. The framing is only a 2x4 which gives me 3.5 inches of height to work within. I'll perhaps attach photos later.
I peered inside of the existing toilet tank (once I removed the water pump) and it is definitely just a small holding tank that goes directly into the sewer pipe. There is no power source to the tank to run a circulating pump and no bottom handle to pull to empty its small tank, so I don't believe it is some kind of monomatic recirculating toilet?
It simply has a manual pump on one side to bring water into the bowl (from my water tank) and a lever on the other side of the toilet to open the drain valve in the bowl and flush the waste into the small holding tank.
I'll keep looking. I might be forced to use a portable toilet, but I hope not.
Thanks again for your thoughts. Greatly appreciated. Tom
