• Another question for Peggy: You
  • I think you're asking about the Rartan "Elegance"...
    • Peggie, while you're around...
      • 4-6' is easy for any toilet...and as for the other questions...
        • That pretty much says it all Peggy. Only two other questions.
          • Steve, make the Admiral happy, get a new toilet.
          • Steve, you haven't read the Elegance info on the Raritan site...
            • Peggy, Yes, I tried to read the manual
  • Steve, I can't imagine that if you have only one head and are going to be travelling, that you want an electric head!
    • I second that. It just makes sense to stay manual under the circumstance
    • We have never had our Vacuflush completely fail
    • That was the other side of the question.
  • cruising head
    • I agree, Greg...if you want a manual toilet, there are only two good choices still in production...
      • Lavac
      • Diffferent strokes for different ...
        • Geez, don't come to Guatemala. There's a waste can or cardboard box beside every toilet....
          • Wait Til You Return ...
          • That's because the standard
            • US standard for the toilet discharge pipe is only 3"...
              • Jeeze hate to ask, but what is the "human standard..." LOL
                • 
              • It's not the diameter of toilet ring itself only, Peggy.
                • Sizing...better diagram
                  • No cigar...
                    • It's a gravity, not a pressurized system;
                    • The flapper valve is 2.5" in diameter?
                      • That's in the flush water tank...but thanks for trying anyway
                        • In a conventional (Land) toilet, there's no flapper (except to the tank)?
                          • Correct. No joker valve either.
                            • Just over eaters!@ LOL
      • We had perfect service from an Electric Lavac...
