How is a toilet sanitary?
A toilet maintains its sanitary condition by means of a water seal- -the clean water at the bottom of the bowl keeps odors away and bacteria at an acceptable level. The water stays in the bowl because a toilet has a trap like all other fixtures. The trap is visible on some toilets and the link below shows the basic design of the toilet. When water is released into the bowl (when the flush handle is activated) the water and all material in the bowl "overflow" out of the trap and create a siphon. The siphon pulls all of the water out of the bowl and then is broken when it sucks air (that gurgling sound after you flush.) Current law mandates the following conditions.1- Toilet must be made of smooth impervious material.2- Toilet must have acid resistant finish.3- Toilet must flush with 1.6 Gallons per flush or less.4- Toilet must have a non mechanical seal5- Toilet must evacuate at least 95% of the water (objectionable material) every flushhttp://www.homerepairforum.com/images/uploads/2005-9-10_Toilet_Bowl_FLUSH_STEP_1_w550.JPG

Why is my toilet not flushing all the way even though it is not clogged?
There could be several reasons why your toilet is not flushing all the way even if it is not clogged. Some common reasons include issues with the water level in the tank, a problem with the flapper or flush valve, or a blockage in the toilet's trap or drain line. It may be helpful to check these components and make any necessary adjustments or repairs to improve the flushing performance of your toilet.
Can you plunge a travel trailer toilet?
Travel Trailers by default are equipped with Marine Toilets. They utilize a slide valve operated by either a hand or foot pedal. The bowl material falls directly into the tank. The plunging of a home toilet is used to push blocked material through the Trap located on the toilet. This would not be an issue in a marine toilet since there is no trap. If you are noticing your toilet full then most likely you have solids blocking your exit pipe and your holding tank is full. There are chemicals you can purchase all Wal-Mart that will break up these solids. Also, if you are connected to a sewer pipe do not always leave your valve open. A standard marine toilet does not provide enough water to adequately flush all of the solids from your tank on each flush. You will get a buildup eventually. With no trap on your toilet you will also experience sewer gases in your trailer. (Not Pleasant)
Can the tides affect the water level in a toilet?
Not at all. Unless your toilet is in the middle of the ocean.
Why toilet won't flush complete?
Some toilets have full glazed trap which makes the trap real smooth and allows the siphon action to work best. Some toilet bowl outlets are poorly designed and when you look inside the outlet of the toilet bowl you can see where it can be from 2 7/8" and then narrows down to 2 1/2 " before exiting the bowl and I see the reason for that to allow the trap water to stay so it doesn't siphon all the water out, but it also makes it flush rougher or slower and sometimes not at all. Its a good idea to maybe buy a toilet snake (they aren't much) and try snaking out your bowl if you feel that it could be your problem. If your other fixtures like tub/shower, lav, kitchen sink drain fine then its mostly your toilet. I have unclogged a lot of (just the) toilet problems and they almost seem to be in the toilet trap. In rare cases the toilet drain pipe was back graded and was causing the toilet to flush real slow tho it would still flush but very slow and if a person would keep using it that way then it will eventually plug up.
