    Did you remove the black tank out for this to work, or could it be installed with the black tank, because I'm debating to install a home toilet instead and completely remove the black tank, so I dont have to go out in the winter every couple days to empty it.. looking forward to your response..

    • @linkinslife709
      @linkinslife709  11 месяцев назад +1

      I left the black tank installed, worked fine I left closed for few days then open for a day or 2 then closed again depends on your use
      The new owners leave the black tank open all the time as the trailer is permanently parked on there property and they have no issues
      Side note they absolutely love the home toilet compare to a RV toilet, also read some comments I answered other people’s questions
      might help you with other questions you might have As well…

      Your black tank will fill up 2x as fast, if you have sewer hook up that shouldn't be an inconvenience for long term stay. Some say with the amount of water used in each flush, you could leave the black tank valve open to continuously drain

    I've been thinking about putting a house toilet in my RV. So I searched RUclips and found your video. Then I had a lot of questions. But so did other people. I learned a lot watching your video. I don't have much room in my bathroom so I might have to sacrifice my little vanity and sink area. I was thinking about removing the tank and running straight PVC to the dump. Thank you for your video it's helped me a lot.

    • @linkinslife709
      @linkinslife709  Год назад +3

      The black tank was closed for 3-4 days then open for 1 day that’s our uses of the toilet when we were park hosting a campground for months at a time. The sewer smell went away and the black tank sensors were cleaner and much better on reading the levels with the home ( residential ) toilet ( no ice with traveling needed ), the rv toilet we had to place ice down to clean the black tank and sensors ( when traveling )
      The new owners of the trailer absolutely love the home toilet also the way it works and no sewer smell…

    Great video. Simple straight to the point and done by a relateable guy. But could you leave the black tank open if your permanently hosed up to a septic hookup? I plan on keeping my RV parked in my yard and getting a hookup installed to my home septic tank. So it will rarely be moved as my brother wants to stay in it while we add to our home.

    • @linkinslife709
      @linkinslife709  8 месяцев назад

      Yes you can leave open as I did most time with no issues

    Hello, thanks for the video brother. I'm about to install a house toilet in my 5th wheel camper on Jan. 2, 2023 (Happy New Year to me) but I'm wondering about the fill valve connection on the house toilet. How did you get the water line to connect to the house toilet?

    • @linkinslife709
      @linkinslife709  Год назад +1

      Dee smith connecting the toilet is the tricky part the line from the RV is 1/2 but to short reach the toilet the big box stores sell the flex line for the toilet 1/2 to 7/8
      Now the job is find a flex line is 1/2’ on both ends then find double male adaptor put seal tape as well on the parts…
      Can also use shark bite cut the rv’s 1/2 off slide a double male in the pex pipe use right tools to tighten the clamps down then other end attach a 1/2 to the pex pipe use a clamp
      ( my water heater video ) ruclips.net/video/uMaoSt1P3ec/видео.html has me using shark bite tool and clamps get an idea if you go this route…
      Good luck with your project

      The new owners kept the tanks in the Rv and they have permanently parked the trailer on there property to much work involved to remove the tanks for them, There better with keeping the tanks.

      I did have a plastic and porcelain toilet RV toilet both let sewer smells come into RV, I installed the home toilet with no sewage smells! also enjoyable going bathroom in RV with no smells like old RV toilet… We are full time RV’ers the black tank is always hookup to sewer and open 7 days a week when parked, One day out of the week I close the black tank for few hours after I’V poured half bottle (sometimes full bottle) of bleach in toilet and flush… after few hours reopen the black tank It should show the black tank is empty. Mine is empty or 1/4 full (rarely)
      Hope this helps you any other questions I’ll do my best to answer them 🙂

    Hey. Did you remove Black tank? I was thinking about bypassing black tank.
    On another note, did you have to change the toilet flange to a residential flange?

    • @linkinslife709
      @linkinslife709  2 года назад +1

      To the first question, no I did not remove the black tank. I keep the black tank closed and add bleach on day number two of it being closed. Then on the third day I dump it. This allows for the bleach to eat through the black waste. We’ve tried using the rv black tank tablets and liquids and bleach seams to work best.
      To the second question, the rv flange was the same size as residential and worked just fine without having to install anything extra. The toilet that was purchased came as a complete set. So it was just a matter of putting the new screws down and installing with the provided wax seal. Same as you would a home installation.

    • @Hezelcarl1
      @Hezelcarl1 2 года назад +2

      Depending on your RVs rough in, most residential toilets are roughed in 12 inches from the wall some older ones are roughed in 14 inches from the wall and some are roughed in 10 inches from the wall so it really depends on your RVs set up. Please note, 14 inch Rough in toilets and 10 inch Rough in toilets Are more expensive than a 12 inch rough in toilet. Just a bit of information!

      I had a RV porcelain toilet it didn't break during travels So I know I won't have problems when we travel. The sewer smell is way less then before and septic is cleaner. Reminder the home toilet is heavier then an RV toilet if your worried about weight. sharkbite is best to use for RV plumbing. Good Luck with your Bus build.

I replaced a toiled in rv once and the new didn’t sit right so I had to cut a quarter inch plywood piece to make it even with floor. But I’m sure there’s must some plastic or something to use for that. Just don’t know what it is called.
