RJ,

Thanks for the info.  That's exactly the kind of usage we anticipate, so that should 
help us know what to expect.

Couple more questions:

Our toilet does not have a spray nozzle.  I don't know if it was removed at some point, 
or never had one.  Is it a good idea to install one?  Wouldn't letting the water run a 
little longer while flushing do the trick?  The bowl seems to come clean easily 
Related question - our bowl does not hold water - should it?  Does the gasket on the 
valve between the bowl and holding tank need to be replaced?

> 2) Minimal TP usage!  Even the RV stuff will swell with moisture.

We've considered pretending we are in Mexico and keeping a small garbage can next to the 
toilet for paper for #1.  Kind of gross, but it would help to keep the tank from filling 
up if one of us (ahem) pees a lot.

Interesting site - thanks.  I was using some organic microbial digester stuff that is 
marketed for holding tanks and septic tanks - it seemed to do a good job of controlling 
odors but I'll try the 3R product next time.  It does look like it would work wit
