Raised toilet, what’s underneath

[Hornnumb2]

I need to lower this down some with the upgraded toilet, it’s just to high. Just wanted to see if anybody had a guess what’s under there before I go tearing.

Personally, I wouldn't broach the subject, but you could ask her to camp in high heels. :B

In my Class C, the toilet is sitting on top of a wheel well.

Looks like 4 screws holding on the metal trim. I'd start by removing those and see if the front panel is stapled. The panel might also be glued to any support numbers so you might be able to pull the staples and then carefully peel the panel using a putty knife to find out, WHAT'S IN THE BOX?

I had the same issue with my Bounder. I found nothing under there but the drain pipe and fresh water to the commode. I cut the riser to the required height and did a little replumbing with some 3" ABS and shortened the fresh water line.
I suggest you don't cut an opening to see what is under there. Remove the commode and the top of the riser to see what you are getting into.

Won't work. No way to slide it back under the platform the toilet sits on.

Unfortunately it’s is so tiny in there already any little step would just be in the way.

Build a narrow step that is 1/2 the way up the platform.

That is unfortunate,it may not work removing it.

What I found with my late,vertically challenged partner,it was easier to raise the floor than lower the offending structure.

Maybe Something Like This may work,small,portable,adjustable even comes with it's own bag.

Good Luck,being 6 ft 6 and sharing the world with a person 5 ft 2 can sometimes be a challenge :B

Cut an access window on the front and take a look inside. Can always make a panel to cover over the access window.

Yes it’s low profile at 13.5. With that ledge it’s at 23. The poor 5ft wife can’t touch the floor.

Could be many things! Plumbing, heat ducts or wiring.
