Toilet broke loose!

Went on a shakedown on our new to us Class C RV and managed to break the toilet loose from it's moorings on one side. A small piece of plastic broke off from what must be some sort of ring that held things together. I'd like to do the repairs myself to prevent the RV from sitting at some repair shop for months. Anyone ever deal with this? I'm afraid I'll have to drop the black tank to see what broke ...

    Typically the flange is glued to riser pipe and would not be an easy fix. There are other options but as Jerry stated to answer the question we need PICS.

    Possibly one of the mounting bolt head broke loose from the floor flange. You should be able to remove toilet and replace floor flange without dropping tank. While at it I would also replace tank gasket here the pipe enters the tank.

    Brand/model of toilet, a picture of what/where broke would be helpful. Toilet should be fastened to floor, and can be removed without taking black tank loose. You should be able to repair or replace the toilet yourself.
