Household Flush Toilet

Assuming you had the room, has anyone installed a regular, house hold flush toilet in their RV? My Thetford is going on 8 years old. No problems as yet, but like everything else, RV things do wear out. I am aware of the possible weight issues. I know the water supply could be hooked up. Just contemplating the future.

Concerned about a tank and bowl full of water sloshing down to road. And the vibration on the tank-bowl connection. They do put em in park models but those are made to leave parked.

Even the low-flush ones are going to drop a lot more water into your black tank than a RV toilet does.

True, but in a full service park that would be a non issue.
A dual flush toilet would cut down on the water used.

For someone who "boondocks as his drug of choice," I would say it would be a move in the wrong direction...
