A comment made about a bath & a half coach?
In an earlier thread there was a post saying something about "vacuflush" on a coach with a half bath. There was no explanation and hoped you could let me know what it means?

- Something else to consider about motorhomes with vacu flush or even macerator toilets, especially if you have two of these in a bath and 1/2 floor plan. These things use more water and will fill your holding tank quickly. OK if you are on full hook up most of the time but do present a challenge if you plan to boondock. Our current rig only has one macerator toilet and, if used in a 'normal' fashion, will fill our black water tank in 2 days. With more 'careful' flushing strategies, we can stretch it to 4 days.
- Thanks gbopp, I thought it was something peculiar to a 1/2 bath, like bad smell or something! Now I realize he was talking about a product. Thanks for setting me straight!
Thanks fcooper, now I understand it. I've been on a boat where you can hear the pump working on the toilet. Thanks a lot for the added information. - The vacuum flush type system allows the coach builder to place a toilet in a location that is not directly over the holding tank. The vacuum maintained in the system moves the waste to the holding tank, and claims to use less water.
They are used extensively in marine applications. Generally, the vacuum pumps are noisy (at least my houseboat system was noisy).
Fred - Google 'vacuflush toilet', it will explain how it works.
