- myredracerExplorer IIIf you can get to the underside without removing the coroplast (if present) and a lot of other work, an offset flange would work. You *might* be able to do it from above if you're careful and make a clean cut in the pipe into the tank. I'd use a die grinder with saw blade on it, but if you don't have one, a dremel tool may work but would be slow. A flex shaft on a Dremel may help.
Another solution would be to create a recess in the wall the thickness of whatever the studs are - 1-1/2" or 2-1/2" if the wall has a vent pipe in it. Then trim it out to make it look nice. If the vent pipe happens to be behind the toilet, this wouldn't be possible. - robatthelakeExplorerThose toilet flanges can sometimes be repositioned. The other trick is to use a drill and a Dremel tool to grind some new bolt positions in the existing flange.
You may need to use some Original JB Weld to beef it up a wee bit. - IAMICHABODExplorer IIMaybe try a Offset Flange:@

Bingo! They hit the wall.
Do the toilets not fit the flange in the floor? Or are the dimensions of the toilets just too large like maybe they hit the wall or the bathtub? - opnspacesNavigator IIDo the toilets not fit the flange in the floor?

- The Bravura should bolt right in using the correct set of holes. The water line will need to be extended.
What type of flush mechanism is on your current one? Look closely at the Sealand toilets because some of them are odd and require modifications. - newman_fulltimeExplorer IIFunny all the ones I have installed all have the same bolt pattern.
- AppFireExplorerSurprised it don't fit. I have had 3 travel trailers in the last 10 years and replaced all of the toilets with the Bravura. Never had a problem.

It's a Thetford, Aqua-Magic IV, I think. The chart says a Bravura should fit. But it doesn't.
What is the make and model of your current throne?
Many of the Thetfords are direct replacement.
