Permanent Residential Toilet Retrofit
Hello all, new here, have a rather unique issue I think. I recently became a RV live in by choice, no wanting all the space I do not need I opted for a used 32 footer. But plan on getting her onto...

That disk could be the hole saw piece that they cut out to glue the fittings on, from the factory. Lots of stories of that happening.
Remember, when you get everything out, if it looks like mine did, you will have a rough cut hole through the plywood looking down at the ground. So, buy a flange that will somehow convert to, say, a 3" sewer pipe. You should definitely have enough room to move it a little if it looks like mine was. Get as many wood screws in it as you can, but make sure the middle of the slots for the flat head bolts that literally attach the toilet bowl to the flange are centered. You don't want that extra wide section where you slide the flat head bolts into the flange to be too close to where the bolts need to stay as they're tightened.
In my previous post, I mentioned putting some antifreeze in the bottom of the bowl when you winterize, just as you would put some in the holding tank too, after it's nearly empty (fed from the water source, then shut off the valve at the toilet). We have had some brutally cold winters where every single can exploded, but the toilet has never cracked, and we just put about 50/50 at most in it.
