- limited "capacity" - about 2 days for 2 adults. You could carry a spare cassette (although I don't know where in our rig). The cassette is somewhat heavy to carry around when full. And it should be rinsed regularly; not everyone likes to do that.
I would not want to go back to the black water tank solution.
There is a known issue with the cold water line that feeds the toilet. It blew on our installation, and on some other members' campers as well. Personally, I believe it was built up back pressure from the water heater. It has not happened since we depressurize the system while the water heater is heating. Obviously this is a primitive fix that you may not like. Someone here on the forum has installed a pressure regulator in the line; you might use the search to find the article.
