In a folding trailer, this is a nearly impossible requirement. TM has struggled with this since Thetford discontinued the recirc, and has not yet (in my opinion) found a good solution.

They figured out a way to do it when they started installing the Sealand toilets.
However, it wasn't very attractive nor was it very creative. I think that it could be done with PVC pipe.
