Sometimes I think that people don't read the whole thread,the splash factor has nothing to do with the tank but in the design of the toilet itself as shown in the pictures on the link that I posted Look at the pictures and he green arrow, clicking on them make them larger and easier to read the graphic,start at the top then scroll down the last few pictures will show how the splash ends up between the inner and outer wall of the toilet.
You're right; while I did indeed read the whole thread, I missed your link that explains it. Wow...I've never seen (or would ever expect to see) such a horrid design.
My first 2 RV's used Thetford toilets, the last one was indeed an Aquamagic (don't remember the model of the first; but I think it too was an Aquamagic), both used a knife-valve operated by a side-mounted foot pedal, but neither had that cavern design (perhaps because of the vintage? First was a 1979, second a 1988). Current RV (2004) uses a Sealand; it uses a ball valve; also no cavern.
I'm blown away by that link, and am amazed that any toilet manufacturer would actually produce something that bad. Even if it didn't "splash", just the likelihood of "crud" building up on an inaccessible area inside the toilet should've been enough to stop that design from ever becoming a reality.
