How would a Tetford RV toilet removal/reinstallation be any different (other than the toilet being lighter in weight) than a residential one?
RV toilets, including Thetford use a rubber seal not wax as you would use with a residential toilet.
So far none of you have reported leaks from your RV toilet fresh water inlet valves due to them developing hairline cracks in the plastic material. Am I the only one to notice this manufacturing/design flaw?
Here in northern climates where winter temps drop well below freezing finding a cracked toilet water valve isn't uncommon at all ... my local dealer sells dozens of replacements each season when an owner discovers the winterizing job they'd done wasn't so complete after all. I've never heard of one stress cracking but hey, anything is possible ... just replace the valve, add a flexible braided line to the PEX so you don't have to deal with this again, and move on. :)
