John, It sounds like 200 lbs. of beer in the galley might just solve your problem. But seriously, equipment added can cause balance problems. Be sure of your measurements, then move something to balance things out. Batteries are heavy and not too difficult to move, if you have another loc

I have heard it is common practice, but in my view if your toilet is maintained so it works as designed and the user is paying attention and you are using the right toilet paper, you should be able to flush the paper with no problems. I have never had a paper jam but I am meticulous on maintenance.

Thanks for all the tips. Jocker valve makes sense.  I will likely try the lube idea before rebuilding, but I need to pull out the manual and see how challenging the rebuild would be.  As to the vent, I think I can get to the bottom of the vent line fairly easily.  I doubt I can reach the other end
