Dometic toilet issue

That's a good idea Caveman. The foot pedal is kinda aggrevating. Its like halfway pulling a trigger while standing on one leg that seems like forever. Don't mean to gripe but when spending hard earned money on something it ought a work better.

Can you keep a ice cream pail in the bathroom? Then fill it in the sink?

After using the toilet quickly dump the water into it while holding the toilet ball valve open. This will provide some flushing action and work better then trying to use the little bit of fresh water that comes out of the toilet flush port.

We just fill the bowl by holding the valve part way, then flush.

Just read your recent post. Your were right on the money there Ron.

Contacted Dometic today. They ask me if toilet was right above or side discharge. The said its designed to go straight down. Its the manufacturer that chose to do this. They said I have to use a lot of water. So I guess I'll just have to live with it.

yep, I'm sure that's the problem.... the pipe doesn't go straight down into the black tank but rather has a bend in the pipe and the paper is hanging up. I suggest that you do multiple flushes....once for the solids, then again for the paper. If more than normal paper is required, do multiple flushes with the paper.

An old friend of mine who had motor homes before I did, cautioned me when I was looking to purchase a new mh....he said the first thing I needed to do is look down the toilet and see if it goes straight into the black tank. If it doesn't, walk away and find another mh. I have followed his advice...for the most part. Our current mh's half bath's toilet does indeed go straight into the black tank, but the rear toilet is a macerator toilet and I hope it never clogs up!!

Good luck in your future flushes...

On our Creekside there is a elbow right below the toilet.Bad design you have to be a water pig to keep the clogs away.Our 1989 Prowler was better.

Thanks Lanerd its below flush ball. Its hard to tell but it seems like it dips below the inlet going into holding tank. I assume its just a L sweep fitting. I can't find a diagram.

Be a man, use your hand. LOL, let us know what they say at Dometic.
