Hi. I'm a 1986 Cadet owner

[Veronique Cooper]

I just bought it a few days ago and can't wait to redo the interior. I won't be removing any cabinetry but will be recovering the walls and refacing the table and cabinets. Can you believe that one of the previous owners installed a camping toilet complete with drainage pipe!! I am thrilled. I love my little trailer and look forward to getting my projects started.

: now you have to go to a Dump station to empty the holding tank??? but if you had just a porta-potti then you can go just about anywhere and dump the tank.

Welcome to the forum, congratulations on finding one of these little gems, and best wishes on your improvements! We'd love to see pictures as you go.

Hi there. We'll I'm finally done renovating the interior of my 1986 cadet. I will soon be posting before and after photos. To answer Stude's question about the toilet, there is no holding tank. It's really set up for sewer hookup.

Now I'm really curious, Veronique… I've never heard of such a thing in an RV. What kind of toilet is this? RV toilets typically use a relatively small amount of water to flush and depend on the liquids that build up in the holding tank to soften the solids and flush them out during a dump. Most people would find it very limiting, not to mention expensive, to camp only where there are sewer hookups.
