- grampachetExplorerThank you all for your input. I received my new one and it fit perfectly.
Now the slide quit. When I took it apart I found a broken shaft and stripped gear. Two of the four mounting bolts on the motor/gear case were loose the other two were on the bottom of the cover.
Waiting on new parts..................have patience..... - bobndotExplorer III

Thanks for the replies. I removed the toilet and there is no name tag anywhere. But the lid does say thetford. Ordered a new one rather than buy parts to fix because the parts, lid, valve and gaskets almost as much, over half the price of new. And the T bolts were so corroded I had to cut the bolts off with my angle grinder which heated up the bolt and damaged floor flange and toilet base. And besides my DW had already said just buy a new one??. Happy wife .....you know the rest and it’s been over 50 years we’ve been married.
Just make sure the rear water valve is in the same location on the new toilet so you do not have a possible clearance issue.
My H/C water lines run along the floor behind my toilet and the lines are covered inside a wooden enclosure. The water valve at the rear of the new toilet hit the enclosure. I was able to alter the nut by shaving off a little plastic on the nut. I was lucky . :) - MDKMDKExplorerAwww, that's nice. Funny how toilets have a way of bringing people together. :B

The shroud is part of the toilet same cheapo installed in most any RV. Possibly one step higher than an all plastic one but then again I never had any problems with my plastic ones. My Aqua Magic Style Plus has had two catastrophic failures since I have owned it,
Not gonna ask about the failures......:E - bdpreeceExplorer IIThe shroud is part of the toilet same cheapo installed in most any RV.

The manufacturer's labels are often placed at the back of the toilet, near the ground. Get a mirror/flashlight and have a look at the back of the toilet near the ground.
Just had my toilet out yesterday and that's where my label is. Only thing is on mine there is an outside shroud around the toilet that has to be removed in order to see it.
My Navion is a bare bones motorhome, I guess. What can I say?:B - bdpreeceExplorer II
