 So Will this alternate idea work? Has anyone tried it?

 Drilling a hole in my Westy floor  (in back of the passenger seat)  placing
 an RV toilet over it that drains to a holding tank under the van.

 Any comments?  >>

What's the big deal with dumping a porta-potti? The Thetford version (the only
one I know first hand) is fantastic. Clean, no smells, and dumping is a cinch.
The enzymes/chemicals keep the smell down and dissolve "solids".

On the other hand, the worst part of dealing with an RV (to me) is the
connections/valves required to dump the turd tank. Nasty. Maybe that's why
Westfalia opted for no potty and no grey-water tank? Go get a Thetford and
leave your van alone. :)
