Hi All - A few years ago we had to replace the Theftford Aquamagic 3 toilet that was in our camper when we got it. We replaced it with a Aquamagic 4. Lately we are getting occasional leaking around the toilet, and a persistent bad odor. I'm thinking I need to replace the seal around the base, kind of a (I'm sorry) crappy job. Since I have to remove the toilet to do this I'm thinking maybe I should look into a replacement toilet as DW has ALWAYS complained that this toilet is seat is higher than the previous one, and she is short. In addition, the cheap plastic the toilet is made of stains very easily, AND, there is a space below the bowl that collects solid waste on the sides and looks awful, and may be contributing to the smell. The unit was only about $140, so I guess you get what you pay for. In any case I'm looking for recommendations. Ideally it would have a ceramic bowl, better plastic exterior, have a seat around 16" from the floor, AND, doesn't have the space below the bowl that collects the smelly waste on the side. I know, a tall order. Any recommendations? Oh, and it would be nice to stay below $250 and $300. Thanks!!

We've been happy with our Thetford Aquamagic Style Plus porcelain bowl toilet since installing it in 2008. It's easy to clean and uses a standard residential toilet seat. Repairs over the years have only been the occasional replacement of the flush ball gasket, about a 20 minute job. The floor to seat height is 17-1/2 inches and the price on Amazon is about $315.Aqua Magic Style Toilet

Suggest looking at the Dometic 310 or 311 (shorter)

Thetford Bravera was our replacement choice.

I think I replaced mine with a Dometic porcalyn one. Don't remember the number but it cost around $500 and is just like one in the house + has a spray hose.

Before you go shorter...find a stool of similar height and try to get up with your pants around your ankles.

Tammy is only 5ft and greatly prefers the taller option. Otherwise, she has to grab the sink and pull herself up.

I put in a Dometic chair height oval ?320?. I already had put a sprayer along side it. My wifes' knees are even worse than mine and she wanted it higher so I made a 1 1/2" riser under it. We're both perfectly happy with it. Craig

Thanks everyone. Maybe I’ll give a Dometic a try, though they seem about the same height as our current one. DW swears our old one was shorter AND didn’t jut out into the room as far as this one does. She complains she bangs her knees on it when changing.

Actually not good to set to pee as you don’t fully drain your bladder. Have the 320 and love it.

I simply clean if needed as my aim is very good. ;)
