Thetford 80 electra magic removal

How do I remove the toilet from the base unit? Anything I should be aware of? As these are $500+ I really do not want to break it.

I need to fix some of the plumbing underneath it.

Am I correct that this isn't a cassette toilet? (ie no self contained black holding tank)?

Just got the RV and figuring things out now that most of my repairs have been made
  • I'd considered a cassette toilet, but I'd have to restructure my entire wall to accommodate one. The toilette has no side access, nor is the space wide enough to place it sideways. If I have to I'll pull out my pan and place a 6 gallon waste tank below it, as under is the only place I have any room to expand.

    I can't find very many combo shower pans out there.

    The Ameri-kart M2853TW is perfect, but I can't find one for sale.
  • It is not a cassette toilet in the pure sense of the word because it don't use fresh water for each flush and it don't have a removable. self contained holding tank.

    I think in your situation that I'd look hard at a new Thetford Cassette toilet, that way, no black tank needed. Either that or a porta-potti.
  • I'm considering removing the elctra magic and shower pan combo to replace it with a combo pan with built in tank and a generic rv toilet for ease and cost of replacement. I have no black tank on the TC, so I need something suitable for weekends boondocking.
