Can you install a RV toliet in your home and will it work with a septic tank?
An RV toilet is designed to be mounted over a holding tank. They use almost no water which at first might sound appealing, but unless you have a septic tank under your bathroom it would be bad news for home installation. Unless modified, an RV toilet would not be able to get the solid waste to your home septic system. A home toilet uses the force of the water to move the solid waste to your septic tank. Look for a low flush toilet or a composting toilet instead.

How to sanitize a water tank?
Start with an almost full and fresh water tank. Turn the water heater off and let the water cool. Dilute 1/4 cup of household bleach for each 15 gallons of tank capacity in to a gallon of water. Add the chlorine or water solution to the water tank. (Do not pour straight bleach into the RV fresh water tank. ) Let the chlorinated water run through them for 1 or 2 minutes one faucet at a time. You should be able to smell the chlorine. Make sure you are using the water pump and not an external water supply. Top off the RV fresh water tank and let stand for at least three hours over night is better. Drain the system completely by flushing the faucets for several minutes each. Open the fresh water tank drain valve to speed up emptying the tank. Open the hot water tank drain plug and drain until it is empty. Close all valves and faucets and drain plugs. Fill water tank with fresh water. Flush each faucet for several minutes each repeating until the tank is again empty. (Make sure you are using the water pump and not an external water supply.) Fill the tank again. The water should now be safe to drink but if the chlorine odor is too strong you can repeat the fresh water flush. Your RV fresh water system should now be safe to use.
