Yes Yes Yes.... Me again,

This time it's about the dirty stuff . I've postponed it as long as I could, but now it's time for the potty and tank referb.

Remember.... I have a 63 24' Trade Wind. I have a non original bathroom setup I believe, Monomatic toilet curb side, Sink under rear window, shower roadside. All seem to work except for the leaky plumbing under the toilet.

Toilet Operation:

Toilet is 'monomatic' brand, it is somewhat of a self contained unit that advises to add 4 gallons when you are starting out, that along with there 'monochem T-5 chemical treatment' is good for 80 (yes 80) flushes. When you have reached 80 flushes (or it starts to smell?) you open a valve at the bottom of the unit (inside above floor, under seat) and the contents then falls into the original black holding tank. Does anyone have any experience with this toilet?? What chemicals do you use today??

Holding Tank Operation:

???? How many gallons is the original black tank (I know it will hold the five gallons I put in the toilet above when toilet tank is emptied???? It appears that black tank valve is bad, water everywhere, I recall from earlier post that I should take off everything that I can and take it all to the RV store and say 'I need this, please'. So I guess I'm stuck on that project until Monday. Drats.... I was getting close to being done, oh well, there is more I can do was just hoping to get that done so I could do the remaining patching to the underbelly (underneath toilet and valves) before the a few day rain sets in (according to weather man).

OK More questions later,
