It's do-able, but not easily.

The L/S is designed to treat a flush at a time, max 1 gal at a time,
each treatment cycle is 2.5 minutes. You can't just dump the Traveler
tank through it. The L/S also needs salt...the Traveler uses onboard
pressurized flush water.

But there IS a way to do it...but it would prob'ly cost more than it's
worth:

You'd either have to install the optional salt tank or add salt manually
to each flush. You'd also have to add the "Hold 'n' Treat" system, which
would allow you to use any existing electric (a manual diaphragm pump
wouldn't work ) overboard discharge pump that you're now using to dump
the tank, but is a system of timers and relays that can be set to meter
only 1 gal. at a time out of the tank and starts the L/S...knows when
it's time to meter another gallon out...shuts the whole thing down after
3 treatment cycles to let the motors in the L/S cool off (they aren't
designed for continuous duty, so can only do about 3 treatment cycles,
then have to wait for half an hour)...and start the whole process again.

By the time you pay for all that, you'd be far better off replacing the
Traveler with any toilet--manual or electric--that suits you....one that
can flush directly into the L/S to treat each flush and push it overboard.

Or, you can spend a bunch of money and do a lot of wiring to have the
only SeaLand 711-928 Marine Traveler on the planet that can be emptied
through a L/S.
