Leaking toilet questions

Question

Took the trailer out and used the toilet for the first time and noticed it leaking around the base.... checked the water connection onb the back no leaking and tight.... seems to leak after flushing.... do I need to replace the flange and ring? How do I find the model number its a thetford...  trailer is a 2000 Fleetwood prowler 19n...... are all thetford flanges and rings the same?

All Thetford seals are the same. I doubt the flange needs replacing, just the foam seal.

It isnt a wax ring like a home toilet.  It has a foam ring/gasket.  I think they are universal size.  I have replaced one, worst part of the job was cleaning underside of the toilet.  That, and the new foam, went along way towards getting rid of odors.

Ya we noticed an order too every once in a while so looks like  ill try the new ring... anything else I should check for leaking while toilet is off?

put a big rag over the hole,things have a way of jumping out of your fingers and down it goes. take a flashlight and look down the hole for build up. have fun,some body has to do it.

While replacing the foam gasket, I'd check to see if water has been leaking for a while and caused any damage to the subfloor.
