How-TO Tips
Replacing an RV Toilet
Jeff Johnston: One of the fun things about owning an older, used RV is customizing it, upgrading it, getting something to replace an old component that maybe works a little better. One thing that is really easy to replace and very worthwhile to replace is the toilet. Now, the one that’s in this older model is a Thetford, and it’s 14 inches tall, which is right about this high, approximately. Some of the manufacturers seem to think people were a lot shorter back then, and they put these little tiny toilets in, and this one is a new Thetford Aqua-Magic with a foot flush, and it’s about 17 1/2 inches tall, and for your average, full-sized adult, that’s a little more space you have for your knees, and so on, just making it more comfortable.
