the toilet sits right over the far end of the black tank, and yes, at the 'thinnest' side due to the toilet being on the OPPOSITE side of the black tank drain, which is on the driver side. Gravity works 'down' the slope and to the drain. Your toilet sits right over the 'highest' part of the black tank, on the passenger side of the coach.

many folks who 'struggle', at least initially, with the 'pyramid' effect, do so because:
A) they don't provide enough WATER to effectively 'flush' the toilet
B) same as above
C) ... you get the picture

WATER is the answer

those who have gravity toilets eventually realize that water is the answer... not the type of toilet paper, or the type or brand of tank cleaners, or how often you 'wash out' your black tank - those have nothing to do with the 'pyramid' effect.

yes, we eventually learned it the same way most folks do - the stoppage of the toilet will give you some sleepless nights, and some fun times with a stick.
I like the way that you think!
You'd be an asset in our deer camp: we've got a "Two-Holer" to contend with!

...And NO water at all!
