I know it sounds like a silly question, and I agree.
But, have some friends that are thinking of going the rv lifestyle in the near future. He has no problems jumping in both feet, but she just insists she cannot live with a RV toilet. There is no logic here, and no amount of talking is going to change her mind. It is probably a deal breaker.
So, snoozing in my lazy-boy, the thought occurred to me about installing a standard toilet. I am not an expert at any of this stuff, so I need some insight as to whether or not it would be do-able.
Again, don't need arguements for or against doing it, just if it would work.
Thanks

Take a look at a standard residential toilet and notice how little that tank full of water on the back has securing it to the base. How well do you think that would hold up out on the highway? Also consider whether the water will remain in the trap or not under road travel conditions. Another issue is the "setback" distance from the center of the drain flange to the wall. RV toilet's typically have a much shorter measurement than residential toilets, and the drain is usually not easily relocated.
The most common complaint I hear from women (and some men as well), regarding RV toilets, is about the plastic "toy" look and feel of some of them, particularly the seats. If that's her concern, then have them look at a few of the porcelain bowl RV toilets that use standard residential seats. I installed an Aqua Magic Style Plus porcelain bowl toilet in our coach, and we've been very satisfied with it.
