Absolutely, no issue with doing that.

The discharged tube, (in back of the toilet) will have a anti siphon valve near the top of the discharge tube, in some cases the valve sticks closed which then causes a vacuum, and the water in the bowl can be siphoned out. It can be cleaned very easy normally with low pressure compressed air. You are correct, there is no seals in a macerating toilet.

You will need LiquidSpring directly and give them the serial of your system, then they can give you the exact cost, for parts and labor. Thanks for watching!

No, it has to be a the front and rear (4) corner suspension to utilize tru earth,

4 corner, I will be going back to have the TRU-Earth aka Campsite leveling hardware and software installed, That's going to be very cool, will be doing a video on it. They will also be conducting a full inspection, I have over 1000 miles now on the suspension. I'm still very pleased.

It could be the control board on the side of the toilet. It controls the 2 different flush modes, (Dry Bowl flush) or (Regular Flush) it also controls the time that the 12-volt water valve stays open. I would give Dometic tech support call. 1-800-544-4881 OPT 1

There are also fixed mounted units, I change vehicles a lot, so I'm not going thru the cost and my labor to fix mount them. The technology for the portable unit is actually very high tech, uses accelerometers, pitch sensors, and is 100% proportional braking. Depending on the towed vehicle braking system. It can set set for eigher vacuum braking or active/regenerative braking. Only a few supplemental braking units on the market that have this capability.

It called a Duckbill, basically it's a one way valve, will let liquid waste out but not back flow back, as well as any smell. The Duckbill is made from rubber. The fail rate is extremely low.

@thecasualrver the small white part atop the black tubing looks like anti siphon valve. I understand the assembly must be replaced if it fails. I'm getting odor through mine as I think it's stuck open.

@@phillipc4865, If the duckbill/anti siphon valve has failed, the toilet will not hold water, if the toilet is holding water, odors can't get passed the water, if that makes and sense. If you are having odor you should check the black and gray tank vents, as well as the black tank flush anti backflow valve.

Thanks Sherri and John, I appreciate that!

No need to be sorry, we all were new to this at one time. I would need to see the GVWR and the GCWR of your 2007 gas coach, with that said, just from knowing that year of gas coaches, I would say yes it's too heavy. Your GMC Sierra 1500 is a 4X4 correct?

Unfortunately they just don't sell the base, I would check with AquaStar Distributors The might be able to sell at a far less cost. www.aquastardistributors.com/product-category/toilets-and-replacement-parts/macerating-toilets-and-parts/

@@thecasualrver Thank you appreciate the reply

There are no seals not like the typical gravity dump or Vacuflash that holds the water in, The macerator pump is not serviceable, the pump itself would need to be replaced. I would contact AquaStar Distributors they only carry OE Dometic parts plus they are great to talk to about the issue. www.aquastardistributors.com/product-category/toilets-and-replacement-parts/macerating-toilets-and-parts/

That’s what I figured. Thank you, John.

Yep, we like the coach, (2020 HR Vacationer 35K) floor plan, and power. But the ride comfort, handling and stability was it's shortcomings. Not anymore. We are now Happy Campers.

Kevin, liquid spring has been in the suspension business for over 20 years, their suspensions are on 97% of all type 1 and type 3 ambulance and paramedic vehicle. Thanks for watching!

@@thecasualrver thanks for the low down I will research some should work on light truck's I'm guessing.

@@kevinrice7635 Ford F350, 450, 550, E350 and E450, Ram truck 3500, 4500 and 5500 series and Chevy/GMC series as well as International CV chassis's.

Zack & Linda,Thanks for your comment and for watching!

I would recommend using rapid dissolving 2 ply, septic safe TP, the main reason is they don't use a glue to bound the 2 sheets together.

If you are using it when the outside temperature is below 32*f for an extended period of time, 4 plus hours, you could have freezing issues just like any water system that is exposed to freezing temps. I would recommend filling your freshwater tank, and put the unit inside until the temps go above 32*f. Anything above 32* you are good, no need to do anything.

The system will support up to 14 sensors.

That depends, if the toilet is still flushing properly now, then it should be ok, just remember, make sure they are 100 % dissolved before flushing.

I'm still very satisfied with the complete system. A few reasons, I have the RVi TPMS (Tire Patrol) system, their Towed vehicle battery charger, and their RVi tablet and hup unit, the RVi 3 Brake pairs with the tablet, I can control it all from the one tablet. One other reason is the RVi3 Brake has the latest technology, as well as 'Brake Lock Detection'.

Thanks for watching Robert.

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate you watching, hope all is well.

Thanks for watching Robert.

Basically yes, I would run a few gallons of water through it first before using.

You need a USB-A to Micro USB cable, make sure it's a (Micro) and not a mini cable.

No, It only controls the toilet 12-volt operation, What brand, model and year coach do you have?

@@thecasualrver alliance 385fl 2021

Correct, I used a 15-amp (fused) 18-gauge wire 12-volt adapter hooked directly to the Ranger's battery, The 12-volt power ports in the Ranger goes into battery saver mode (power shuts off) after 20 minutes from the ignition being shut off.

No, the ignition must be in the off position. When the the transmission is in neutral the key can be in the off position and will not lock the steering wheel.

No, that would be purchased separately.

You are correct, the vehicle must be flat tow capable, there are many olders vehicles that can, it must have the correct transmission and or transfer case.

@@thecasualrver Yes, I can't bring myself to tow a new or nearly new vehicle, too much at risk. I realize the manual transmission limitation & manual transmissions are a rarity in the US unless it is a 4wd or RWD truck. Passenger cars with manuals are almost non existence except for some VWs, Fiats & the occasional Corolla.I'm committed to using a tow dolly only.

@Just Ramblin' Around, I do still like the shoes and pads, thousands of miles now on them and many campgrounds. They are holding up great. I looked at Snap pads, but I like the design of Stromberg Shoes and that they are made with EPDM molded rubber, the engineering behind them is totally different from snap pads. Let me know what pad you go with. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@thecasualrver Thanks for the response and we will keep you posted! until then we will keep watchin keep Ramblin Around!

About $1600 for the portable RVi3 unit, then if you want you can buy a bundle the for $1920 which includes RVi3 brake, commend center, hub and 10 TPMS sensors.

Thanks for watching Dorothy, Water is the toilets best friend, so you need to add more water to the bowl and flush a few times. I will tell guess how to use the system, that it's not like the toilet in your home.

Thanks for watching Jake, The foot pedal has a spring that returns the pedal, what happened is there is a plastic tab stop (on the foot pedal) that has broken allowing the pedal to go almost to the 90 degree angle. This is a common issue. Call Dometic and see if they will send you a new assembly.

Thanks for watching Ricky.

That's where the drop receiver lock pin hole is drilled, The Blue Ox drop receiver in that configuration, has a rating of 5000 lbs. tow capacity and a 500 lb tongue rating. The distance is not too far out. The closer the towed vehicle is to the rear of the coach will reduce your turning radius.

@The Casual RVer It's usually about 5'0 from the rear of MH to front of the TOAD. With a setup like your sticking out that far creates more downward stress on the drop receiver. Think of it like this: you have more leverage with a 24" breaker bar than you do with a standard length box end wrench. Yes, your hitch is rated for 5000 lbs, but with the added Equipment hanging so far out and down I can't believe that you still can maintain that 5000 pounds weight limit. IMHO

@@fredr8213, So the distance from the end cap of the coach to the front bumper is 5'5" I have been conducting neutral tow product development durability testing for 28 years as a mechanical engineer PE. I'm will aware of road loads, geometry, and stresses. Yes it still maintain that 5000 pounds weight limit. Safe Travels.

@The Casual RVer Well, l worked for 35 yrs as a Tool & Die maker. I've worked closely with engineers my whole career. With your setup, you have created weak stress points with everything sticking out like that. On this one, we can agree to disagree. Safe travels to you as well

Hope it works, Thanks for watching! Safe Travels

@alive, The Ranger 4x4 has front open differential, and rear drive with electronic locking differential. It's does not have floating axles. The 2-speed transfer case disengages both front and rear driveshafts, and transmission when placed in neutral tow mode. No need to check the transmission before flat towing, there is not distance or a speed requirement when flat towing the Ranger. I don't go over 65 MPH.

Hello Ben, The large hose clamp only needs to be sung. Don't over tighten the clamp, it can distort the pump housing. Before replacing any parts I recommend pulling the system apart again, cleaning the 90 degree chute inside flange and were they mate.

Hello Jeff, there's a good chance the air admittance check valve on the discharge hose is stuck closed. The valve should be on top the discharge hose. If it is stuck closed, it can cause a siphon effect.

At the top of the upper discharge tube there’s a rubber vacuum breaker valve that can get dusty. It opens during flush to allow air in as the effluent exits toward the bottom. If it doesn't seal, the toilet bowl will leak down. It can be cleaned by removing the back cover, mix a little dawn detergent with warm water. I use a small artist paint brush to spread this on the valve. Let it sit, take the paint brush and/or a soft tooth brush clean the valve gently, then a spray bottle of warm water only to wash off. Flush and spray the valve when it opens to get it clean. Worked for me. A little silicone spray on this valve might help also.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching @Cozy Living Machine!

Thanks! Everything is doing well, of course very minor things, just need a adjustment now and then.

Thanks Thomas, Have a great day too!

Yes, if the air admittance valve would happen to fail, the water in the bowl could siphon out right after the flush mode stopped.. Thanks for watching.

You can flush and drain again, and also shut off the Aux battery disconnect switch for 20 seconds, I most cases that will regain the flush function. If that still does not resolve the issue, then disconnecting the yellow wire will be necessary. You will need to monitor the black tank level closely once the yellow wire (s) have been disconnected. Hope this helps.

@@thecasualrver It helps a lot and confirms what I learned from your helpful videos. Thanks so much for your time, Jake G

Thanks John and Sherry,
