Bye bye Microphor!

[Curt Sprenger]

I trashed our Microphor too....because...flushes used too much water (we dry camp some), parts are expensive, did not wish to have a future date compressor purchase, the compressor using 12v power while dry camping, wanted a less complex toilet, wanted a toilet that can be flushed without the compressor and the hopper set up leaving us stranded.

I have a Microphor in my rig.  I have had no trouble with it, at least so far.  What is it about the Microphor that you didn't like.  I am curious and wondering if it is something I should be on the lookout for.  Thanks for your input.

To: "WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com" Date: Sunday, May 1, 2011, 3:16 AM   We wound up trashing the Microphor. Good riddance!! But the Vetus Macerator (WC12L2) installation was not easy. The nearest 12 vt wire was in the chase on the outside wall and too thin. It was only 14 gauge, so we couldn't use it because the toilet is wired with 12 gauge and the manual stipulated a 30 amp fuse, go figure. Anyway, we started the 10 gauge wire in the inverter bay (which is on the middle of the passenger side) with a 30 amp resettable breaker, forward to the cage wall, then across to the driver's side, then back to come up thru the chase between the kitchen and bathroom, then into the wall behind the toilet to the drain outlet, and out to the back of the toilet. We put the switch on the chase beside the toilet. Very clean. As usual, a very professional job by a former Prevost tech now domiciled near San Antonio, Stagecoach RV Service. We recommend him highly. 2000 LXI About to leave for MN
