MOVED BLACK TANK VACUUM BREAKER----also replaced bathroom faucet

Is there a reason the vacuum breaker has to be that high . I have a 310RLS and its behind my shower . The lines go up to the shower are right above my furnace so that if it ever leaks that's where the water will go. I understand that the breaker needs to be at the highest point of the plumbing , but in this case the entire black flush line is only connected to city water and not to the rest of the RV plumbing . could i not just replumb to behind the nautilus panel ? on a side note i have already replumbed and removed and replaced all the vinyl tubing in my system with PEX except for the black flush line , so replumbing and moving will leave me zero vinyl tubing in the system unless there is some in the underbelly (a project for this winter)
As far as I know, the black tank flush is never tied into the rest of the RV plumbing.

It has nothing to do with your rig’s plumbing. But it has to be 12” (I believe this dimension is correct) higher than the black flush supply connection on the outside of your rig and higher than the rim of the toilet. It protects the public water supply (campground water supply) not your rig.
