DH has decided we need a new toilet. I'm not sure why, ours works but the lid keeps falling off, it has a claw like attachment and won't stay on, which is a pain but.... Never needing to purchase a toilet before, ever. So I am wondering...Is there an advantage to a china bowl? Is the weight significantIs one design better than another, I see the price range anywhere from 99 to over 500 but they all look like toilets to me. Thanks for your help in advance

China's nice. Not sure what you mean about the lid. Gravity works just fine on mine.

If your talking about the toilet seat then many of them are just common residential lids. You can buy a replacement at Home Depot, etc.If you replace the whole toilet be careful of height if you have any doors that have to swing over the top of it. I bought a new toity and the shower door that swings over it cleared by only 1/4".

No, the regular toilet lids won't fix on our RV toilet Height is going to be an issue because it sits on a 6" shelf as it is. I would need a low one.

We've got the china bowl Dometic 310 in our new trailer and really like it. I think it's their cheapest china bowl toilet. The 310 is a popular model that comes standard on many rigs. We had a plastic Thetford in our old trailer and it never gave us any problems. The china is easier to clean IMO.

Many of the newer Montana models come with Thetford toilets and some folks have had issues with them. We have only used ours about 11 months and so far so good. At the first sign of trouble we are going to look at one of the Dometic models though. Most RVers give them extremely good reviews.
