FINALLY! An RV toilet that is residential size-ish. Although they claim the toilet cover and seat are residential, neither a normal size round, or normal size oblong replacements will fit properly. The seat/cover width is 15″ and the oblong size is 16″, and 17″ to the edge of the fasteners. Most residential seats will not fit, at least any that I have found at Home Depot, Lowes, or Ace. So, just to clear any confusion, it does NOT have a standard residential seat/cover, but it is the largest of any RV toilets that I have seen. Very light weight and installation was very simple. It comes with new wing bolts, nuts, seal ring, and a dose of GW/BW treatment from Thetford. If you are full time, or even if not, this is definitely an upgrade that I’d recommend. I can see many minutes on the throne in the library now.Update: April 2nd, 2016. Updated information on seat/cover size. Full timer here and am still very please with the toilet.

We had to renovate the 2009 Surveyor from Forest Hill camper we just got and this toilet is fantastic. Especially for our tall family. I am 6 ft tall and my wife is 5’10” tall. It os like siting on our toilet at home. Was easy to install too. Came with a new ring and fixtures.

Needed to replace the identical toilet that was 1 to 2 decades old, as the foot lever mechanism gave out. This was an easy replacement – 2 bolts to secure it to the RV bathroom floor and then connect the water supply hose. Turn on the water and presto – a working commode. Happy wife, easier life.

The part pictured above came broken. I had to improvise and use the one off of the old toilet I was replacing. Fortunately, I had all the old parts to use….otherwise, this would have been a huge inconvenience. Despite that, the toilet was easy to install and is sturdy and works well.

Not as sturdy as I would like. Fit good so hope it lasts for awhile. Foot levers on this model keep breaking off, so hopefully it will last the summer.

The functionality of the door pedal is excellent. Enough water to flush and it leaves water in the bowl for a good vapor barrier. Very sturdy and a good value for the money. It’s larger than the original one in our RV which creates some installation issues for us, so check the measurements carefully.

Far better quality than came with the RV. Easy install and use.

Very cheap. Poor quality. Cracked within two days of installation. Called the manufacturer and they didn’t to anything to help. Because I already installed it. Amazon would do anything to help out either
