Has any one put a water saver toilet in there RV or can you put one in a RV?

No one really answered your question.

The answer is Yes/No/Maybe..

Home toilets operate a lot "different" from a RV toilet.

Home toilets use a very large water "trap" built into the toilet base to seal any sewage gasses from getting into the home..

RV toilets do not, instead RV toilets use a ball or slide valve which creates a seal from the smell in your holding tank.

Home toilets by their nature require considerably more water in order to flush correctly. RV toilets use only the amount needed to wash down the bowl.

Putting a home toilet into a RV will fill up your black tank at a much faster rate than a RV toilet, not to mention use a lot more fresh water in the process.

Then there is space considerations, home toilets often have a larger "foot print" in size, tank takes more clearance from the back of the toilet and often the bowl is much larger.

A home toilet conversion would not be all that suited for dry camping and really only be good for camping with hookups.. Ideally the black holding tank would be removed and the black water would be hooked directly to the campsite sewage hookup.. Leaving the black tank in place would eventually lead to possible plugging or overfilling of the tank (IE a mess)..

Is there a reason as to why you ask?
