Not sure if this is normal or not but it seems to be causing the toilet to clog up. My wife can stop up any toilet, a combination of just too much toilet paper usage and not a clear understanding of how a RV toilet works I guess. On this XT276 I notice there seems to be some sort of baffle plate located between the tank opening and where the base of toilet starts. On our old coachman hauler I literally could see the bottom of the black tank but on this thing it appears to be some sort of plate at the connection joint with a slight slope to it. Problem is and it's happened twice toward the end of week long camp stays when tank gets right at 2/3 full showing on gauge. Paper accumulates between this plate and opening from toilet plugging it up. It's a nasty adventure for me to unplug it. I have to use a short broom stick handle to circle stir the plug undone while running water through the flush from outside. My question is what is this plate for or is it suppose to be one there at all? It's out of warranty now and I failed to have the dealer look into this. I have a 5 year extended warranty but there is a $75 deductible for any use of it. I basically bought the warranty only for big item failures. I have managed to unplug the toilet each time it's done it but I really do not like this design something just doesn't seem right. And yes I've scolded the wife several times because I know she just doesn't understand these toilets are not like house units. This women could literally live in a bathroom.
So is this plate some sort of splash baffle which has something to do with the flush or is it another cruiser RV screwup at the time of build. I do see water coming from the one side of plate when the outside flush is in operation so I assumed the plate is there to direct the water to all sides of the tank. I'm just guessing as I do not know how it's constructed. I really hate the thought of having to pull the black tank from under this thing. But I hate the potential clog problem too. And yes we use RV approved toilet paper.
