Is there any reason why you just can't run a 3 inch abs pipe from front to a tank in the back back? Install a cleanout so you can flush the pipe as required...
What is the clearance between the bottom of the floor and the top of the axel?

The clearance I haven't worked out yet. I have been looking at only slimline tanks though trying to keep the clearance as high as possible, and also plan to put whatever shallow under storage I can get for long shore power cords and hoses for macerator dumping. That was a hassle in my old rig, and I don't want to have to deal with that stuff again. Concrete mixing tray makes a good holder for a long hose....
Now, do you mean run ABS from the toilet to the tank, or between the tanks?
I had not thought of that. But that's a potential great point. Assuming the 3" drain on small tank higher than big black tank, I may be able to just pull the valve and have it flow that direction.
I had toyed with the idea of an electric tongue jack and if I jacked the front way up and pulled the valve it may well just flow in there.....
I have not gotten that far with layout, I have picked some components and reserved space for things, I'm on the 3rd floorplan now.
Thanks for all the suggestions, as with any problem that needs to be solved there are many ways to approach it. It doesn't mean they won't work or aren't right, but after you look at them all for their merits you're ready to make a WAG (w!ld a** guess) as to which is the best idea.
