My Neoplan has the bathroom at bay level, much like an aircraft bathroom. The toilet seat, however, is mounted to the top of the waste tank which is filled with blue chemical...
I can live with the aircraft bathroom (will have a full size shower upstairs) but the small box full of blue poop has to go! My idea is this...
Clean the blue smurf poop out very well, remove the toilet seat, cut around the seat with a Sawzall and remove it revealing the inside of the tank. Install in this location a marine toilet with a macerator pump which will flush the toilet and pump the waste up and into the new Black water tank mounted in the bay behind the bathroom.
Has anyone used a marine toilet in a bus?? Anyone have a "downstairs" bathroom? Any ideas of suggestions?

Marine toilets work fine for a lift of 4 ft or so, no need to complex it with a macerator , unless you want an all electric toilet.
One problem may be water supply as its very dangerous to feed the toilet with your fresh water.
A backup would cause disease.
The marine folks seem to get far better service life from diaphram macerator pumps than the rotary choppers .
Macerators HATE to lift and are better with gravity feed , 120V lasts longer than 12 , and # 10 supply wires are manditory for 12V .

I agree with th 4'lift statement all outflows like that on a boat have a vented loop above the waterline and I never had a problem with the lift in our head. We had an all electric toilet with a rotary macerator built into the base. The same motor runs the macerator and pumps in the flush water. To be safe it would probably be a good idea to run a separate tank for flush water. In the two years we lived aboard I never had to rebuild the head...I think if they are used on a regular basis you will get a lot of life out o them |
