Luckily ours is still under warranty and they are sending us a replacement. Hopefully this one will last. If you replace yours let us know what you replace it with and why.

Thanks

The Dometic 310 decided to start leaking from the seal between the parts about all the time and the odor was getting unbearable. Mine is still under warranty as well. Well I am in TX for the winter and Keystone insisted that I take the Vizion to a local Keystone dealer for diagnosis and then Keystone would make a determination as to whether they would replace it or not. So I make a comparison as to cost of renting a hotel room for the duration of the above and decided that it was more cost effective to just replace that POS. The mobile RV guy changed the toilet out this evening with a Thetford Aqua Magic Style Plus. Even though this unit was more expensive I have always had good luck with Thetford products. When I get back home I am going to drop that toilet on my selling dealer and let them deal with Keystone. If they decide to replace it I am going to have a new toilet for sale...:-)

Have you checked to see if the metal ring that holds BOTH pieces together is tight and secure? This is what holds them together and it may have become loose. Before tossing out the entire toilet, it may be beneficial to look into. Exploded views are available to illustrate the assembly on their website as well as the install sheet that came with the unit.

No metal ring on a 310. manual states "Factory-sealed bowl-to-base assembly
– Unlike other Dometic footpedal
toilets, the bowl and base of
310 and 320 series toilets should
not be separated for any reason.

but thanks

Go figure, I called them and they said to contact the dealer. I went to the website and contacted the customer support via email and they asked for the serial number and my address and said they would send me a replacement. Yeeaa!!

if covered by warranty ask for an upgrade and pay the difference, doesn't hurt to ask.

Did that, they told me to contact my dealer. Waiting to here back from them. Just not sure I want to replace it with the same model if it is covered by warranty.
