Maybe it’s just a Texas thing.I don't think so, as I have lived almost all of my life west of the Mississippi and this is the first I have heard of a toilet pan.

Me too -- that's a new one.I don't think so, as I have lived almost all of my life west of the Mississippi and this is the first I have heard of a toilet pan.
And I've lived most of my life East of the Mississippi and never heard that expression. I've heard it called a Loo, head, commode, toilet, john, crapper(there's a story there), and now a pan.I don't think so, as I have lived almost all of my life west of the Mississippi and this is the first I have heard of a toilet pan.
I guess that's East of the Mississippi, so I must be wrong. I wonder it the term "pan" relates to bed-pans in the UK?Toilet pan is a term used in the UK.

Well, I wondered what would happen if I overfilled the tank. I guess that's better than it coming out inside the RV! On that note, if the tank fills, will anything worse happen than just the failure of stuff to go down when you flush? Our lights always show almost full even after dumping, so I don't really know how fast the tank is filling.Another reason not watching the outside tank flush and leaving it running for too long: I had hooked up the black tank flush system and had closed the dump handle so it would partially fill. Then I got involved in chatting with someone----and all of a sudden, I had sewage escaping through the vent on the top of my motorhome and dripping down the side. Oops. Son had to climb on my roof and use a hose to wash down my roof and then the side of my vehicle. He was not happy, and I did not blame him.
Fill the tank up and time it while dumping. Let’s say for example, it drains out in 3 minutes. Then close the tank drain valve and start your flusher and run it for two minutes. Then drain that water and time it if it’s much less then when the tank is right full, you may be able to fill for another minute using your flusher. I think I use to let mine run for 5 minutes but I have a 45 gallon tank. I also have a stop watch app on my phone and when I set it for 5 minutes, a alarm goes off when I reach 5 minutes. I don’t set the phone down. It stays in my hand until I’m done.Well, I wondered what would happen if I overfilled the tank. I guess that's better than it coming out inside the RV!
