I am on the road now, but the first order of business when I get home is to install a new toilet. This is the one I think may work best,

Since I rebuilt the air/water sequence valve mine has been performing flawlessly. I would seriously consider the Techma if I had to change even though the threads on the RV Net forum talk about sensor problems and no flush issues. Sounds like some of those complaints are operator error in that they don't know the procedure to override a dirty sensor.

I removed the mini regulator in the tank of my '99 because it was leaking, yes it could be left in place and set to max pressure. After the upgrades, I had the toilet system retain air pressure all winter with the air supplies shut down!

My old air/water sequence valve had a crack in the body and air was escaping so I replaced it with a new one. I found out this morning the new sequence valve is defective so another one is on the way. This should fix the problem and I will once again like the toilet. The only way I have been able to evacuate the hopper is to give the handle a quick bump and not open the flapper to get the burst of air to evacuate the hopper.
