I know exactly what the OP is talking about as it happens on my Thetford Aquamagic V (a very common RV toilet). There is no chute or tube under the flush valve. So when you flush the toilet the water and everything drops through the flush valve and into a big chamber that is the inside of the toilet base. At the bottom of the base it tapers back down to the hole into the tank.
So picture taking your RV toilet off the floor and putting a box on the floor with a 3" hole lined up with the black tank. Then put a hole in the top of the box and set the toilet on top of the box. Now when you flush the toilet the water drops out of the flush valve and down into the box. Once in the box it all splashes around until if eventually drains down into the black tank. That is how some RV toilets are designed, my Aquamagic V being one of them.
