Over the deepest part of the tank, is best as that's where the solids will land in water rather than on dry bottom.

Having spent time boat boating and RV'ing, you are adding more complication than you are eliminating by looking at a marine toilet. The first time you have to tear it apart, you will wish for the old RV toilet (and yes, you will have to tear it apart).

Make sure you fill the tank before dumping and preferably put a few gallons in before dropping solids. If they land in water, it shouldn't be a problem...just don't be shy with flush water.

No I am not looking for a marine toilet, I can find tons of those, and just rebuilt my manual and my buddies vacuflush in our cruisers this year. I am looking for a toilet that grinds as it drops straight down, I saw this in a van set up years back because the guys tank was shallow and he loved it.

Perhaps I should have added some detail, while I do not full time RV anymore, I did for 5 years, then I built my own 32 foot custom toy hauler, and now we own a 34 foot large toy hauler, I am fully versed in how these systems work, as mentioned I built my own and loved it, just out grew it (kids). Well over the deeper end is fine if your tank is in fact "deep" this tank is only about 10" deep, which is very similar to the one I installed in the one I built, but I mounted that toilet closer to the shallow side, and it would actually slide down out of the way, and if it by chance didn't if I filled the bowl again and did a quick flush that would send it down.

I haven't had any huge issues yet, but I can see the potential (kids again, sensing a trend LOL) I just remember talking with that guy on the job site about his set up and he said he was hesitant when he installed it, but in 3 years it had not missed a beat and made dumping and tank flushing a breeze, was just hoping someone else had a similar deal to get a brand name.

Thanks guys!!!
