Thetford Toilet Conversion Chart.........LINK
RV toilets are installed almost the same way as residential toilets.....hold-down bolts onto a floor flange. Foam seal vs a wax ring
What you have to watch out for is clearance/available space.
Measure from center of floor flange to back wall so that new toilet has room
Measure from center of floor flange to front area....so cabinet doors/drawers, bathroom door have clearance
Porcelain toilets come in two heights.....low profile and a high profile models.
An elongated bowl/seat model is also available
The 'box' (riser) that toilet sits on it more than likely there for a reason (plumbing clearance/dump line---floor flange off-set etc.)
You can remove the ick! carpet and install tile/linoleum on riser.
