So now I am even more confused. I have the 4wd 2010 Pilot. The towing capacity is 4500 pounds on a Class 3 hitch. The max tongue load is 450 pounds so what weight trailer can this pull?
The toilet in the RoadTrek Class B is a macerator marine toilet with a black water tank and hose. The Pleasureways seems to have a standard toilet with black water tank. This is why the recirculating toilet threw me in the TrailManor. Of course, I am not really familiar with any of them.

Recirculating toilets are not that difficult to fool with. The biggest problem is learning how to charge them properly. Its not that difficult, but some people have trouble.
One of their huge advantages is that they are frugal on water usage. You can flush them forever without consuming one drop of water. They are light since there is no black water tank you do not incurr the weight of the black water.

If I understand recirc toilets correctly, once you "charge" the system with water the only additional weight is the user's #1 & #2..... Negligible when compared to a "typical" RV toilet/waste tank combo.

but if you were not hooked to city water, the overall weight would not be different between recirc and typical ones.

So the best thing to do, for towing ease, would be drink water from your own camper freshwater tank and walk over to use the campground facilities when it became uncomfortable.
The worst thing to do would be to drink a lot your neighbors beer and then go straight home when he's out. Bumpy, after all these years of ignorant bliss, I find this insight severely disheartening.
