Installed Tank Flush System

I would not recommend the Tornado. I had one of the fixed quick flush units for many, many years without issue. I thought I would "upgrade" to a Tornado and the first one failed in about 6 months (no longer rotates) and the second in less than a year.
Keep it simple with no moving parts and it really can't go wrong. I like to place the unit where I think it will hit my sensors at least somewhat but my current one is just above the drain and likely only hits the front half of the tank. That position has not been an issue as I let the tank fill somewhat as well (DO NOT WALK AWAY IF YOU ARE FLUSHING AND HAVE THE DRAIN CLOSED!!!) to ensure I get a good clean and dump. I will do it several times if the effluent (big word of the day) is not very clear.

The main thing is these spray water all over anyway and will rinse just fine either way... optimally you'd be pointing directly at the drain, but you can't always have perfection..

That's how I installed my Quickie in my old trailer and it worked fine. The new trailer came with the flusher installed. I still use my Flush King also to back flush.

I think anywhere is better than not having a flusher. I have a Tornado and I think closing the valve and putting in 3-5 gallons gets more out than just running the flusher with the valve open.

I use a clear 3" extension so I can keep an eye on the flow. If I open the valve with the flusher on and wait for the tank to empty then wait and watch, it looks like everything is out and clear water is flowing out. Close the valve and fill for 5 minutes, then open the valve and a couple more piles of TP and stuff comes out. It usually takes 2-3 cycles before nothing comes out.

I think mounting it where you describe is a lot better than having nothing.
