Thetford 34438 Aqua Magic Style Plus RV Toilet - Low Profile, Bone Color - Compact & Lightweight for Campers, Trailers & Motorhomes

This replaced the original Thetford toilet on a 2006 RV. It has the appearance of a residential toilet. Well built. Instructions were clear. Easy to install with one caveat (see below). And while not an issue with the toilet, be aware that your old sponge ring may remain in place on the flange after you remove the old toilet. Don't forget to remove it before installing the new toilet. Our new Thetford wouldn't seat fully at first because I left the old sponge seal ring in place. Doh....Placement and securing the toilet was easy. Had no leaks. This model has a molded plastic shroud that wraps around the base of the toilet. You remove that during install. It's the surface you see immediately behind the pedal. The caveat I mentioned above is that when putting the shroud back in place (you remove it for installation), it's a bit of a tight fit. There is a velcro-like patch above and behind the pedal on the base and a corresponding piece of "velcro" on the shroud. Make sure this is secure or the pedal will scrape against the plastic shroud. Securing the shroud on the rear or the toilet are two rubber O-rings. Smaller one near the top. Larger one closer to the floor. Take a moment to be sure your pedal has clearance. If not, apply some pressure to the front of the shroud and push it up a bit. The pedal should not contact the shroud when the pedal is at rest. Then keep the pressure on and you move your hands around each side and to the back, where you'll use the O-rings to secure the shroud. Took me two or three tries to get it on correctly, but worked out well. No trimming needed. But the pedal clearance was minimal.In the end, we are happy with it. The install went much easier than I was expecting and it looks nice. Thank you Thetford.
