We replaced our cheap Plastic Thetford with a much superior Dometic 311. You might look at these Dometic ceramic bowl units....they are probably as close to an elongated unit as you will find.

I'm not sure I understand the issue. Why won't it fit? Is the hole in the floor insufficiently large? What are you trying to put it in? Do you just need to move the hole in the floor? Or do you need to move a wall? Or the shower? Or the sink? Do you need to move it farther from the wall?
More information would be a wonderful thing?
