Crazy thought on Thetford toilet

[chrismatteson]

I’ve been reading a lot about the recirculating toilet. Camped with it once so far and don’t mind it. One thing that has stuck out to me is the need to close the valve on the bottom to prevent the seal from going bad. I intend to dump when I’m home and leave it shut most of the time.

I’m wondering if could pull the toilet, install the valve backwards, extend and bend down the bar for the valve so that it comes through the floor. That way I could operate the valve from outside.

Invitation for others to tell me this is a dumb idea.
