I cant see why not but is the pump for the toilet not less powerful than the main pump? And would you not need to do some creative electrics and plumbing to adapt the system?

Hi, was thinking the same kind of thing, could be to do with when in shower, and the cold water in kitchen used, you could get showered with very hot water only, as cold water gets drawn from the kitchen sink, maybe that’s what happened to the original owner of the van, and that was his way to solve the problem.

Hi, using two pumps to the shower for more pressure ( if that is what you are saying) you will use more water quicker with two pumps than with one pump (higher pressure more water forced through shower head) if just connecting the shower micro switches to the pump for the loo (operating the shower pump and loo pump simultaneously,  you may find that the loo will flush when you shower).assuming that the loo pump would still have its water feed to the loo. Or you could flush toilet and get shower. If you wish more pressure for the shower, better to fit a larger capacity pump, and an extra aquaroll.

I was under the impression that all fitted toilets in caravans had their own built-in flushing tank.  I suppose the two pumps are not interchangeable?  Wouldn't like the idea of feeding a pump to the main supply that had been connected to the toilet flush - back-feed of water, leeching of contamination, etc.
