Title: Jayco (Cartridge Toilet) Pop Up Question
Post by: liquiddirt on Mar 16, 2007, 10:01 PM
We have just purchased a 1998 Jayco popup camper.  The camper has a cartridge type toilet.  What I would like to know, does someone make an adapter that you could use in place of the cartridge which would allow you to go directly through the a sewage line.  Thank you all in advance.

Welcome to the forums and congrats on the pup.

I've never heard of an adapter to go into a sewage line and I doubt they exist.  The problem would be the flow though the hose too low.  The big RVs fill up their tanks a bit befrore opening the valve and dumping.  Those tanks are 20 gallons or more, that cassette toilet is only about 5 gallons completely full.

The cassette toilets are really easy to empty into the sewer.  I camped on a full hookup site this weekend.  Just pull the cassette, open it and dump into the sewer.

Congratulations on the new PU.  My 1999 Coleman also has a cassette toilet.  They are easy to dump.  someone did build their own adapter, but I would think they had problems with it.  You don't have enough water flow out of the cassette.  You also don't have a grey water tank to dump afterward to rinse the line.  I dump my cassette into sewer hookups when we camp with full hookups.  Post away with any questions or suggestions you may have.:)

The guy that managed this feat, converted his Higlander's cassette to be able to connect it to the sewer through a hose, when desired.

He modified one end of the cassette to be able to attach a sewer hose with a standard bayonet mount.  If the hose was not to be used a cap covered the bayonet opening.

He also used a water hose, fed under the tent at the potty area, to provide enough water to flush with.

Thank you all for the replies.  I guess I will just have to dump the cartridge.  Seems much easier than trying to modify what I already have.
