Best RV toilet brand

[two_travelers]

We're looking to replace the toilet in our motor home. Current one is a Thetford. I've looked on line at toilets and there seem to be many models and features to consider; some advertise water saver feature. Not looking for anything fancy like china, but want a good quality toilet. Any suggestions would be apreciated.

If you have power nearby and can handle the retrofit, I really like our Thetford Techma. It is an electric toilet with a "house style flush" and a builtin macerator.

Totally eliminates black tank problems, no more poo pyramid. Nothing solid will ever get into the black tank again.

Downside is it uses a lot of water.

and is 900-1100 dollars..ouch

I agree if you have the room. Sitting my old toilet, your knees are pretty much against the door so I was afraid a longer bowl wouldn't fit.

i replaced our old Aqua Magic plastic toilet a couple months ago and went with the Dometic 311 low profile(same as 310 only bone color).I bought a 1/4" riser from the hardware store, turned it to the 3 and 9 o'clock position, siliconed and then screwed to down. Waited until the next day to set the toilet and all is fine. The gasket will compress a little more than usual but still seals. I know one person that heated up a spare toilet bolt enough to push the bolt through the flange around to the correct position. It's doable either way, the other mentioned toilets are fine but not for the budget minded IMO

It's too late for me, but can you explain this "riser" solution? Is it pretty much the same as their adapter kit? I got this one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0050EIREW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's made for converting from 4 bolt to 2 bolt, but that flange solves the 11 o'clock/5 o'clock problem I think (that one is bone, obviously they make a white one too). I haven't installed it yet (should be here Monday). I was dismayed to find that not only were my bolts in the wrong place, the flange was cemented. Upon removing the toilet it was evident it had been leaking for a long time. I, too, plan to silicone between the flange and the adapter (riser?). The kit comes with a base to account for the difference in height with the adapter (3/8" it says). I'm a little concerned because the toilet is already 18" high. It might not be comfortable for people of smaller stature at that height (my GF's feet don't touch the floor when she drives my truck, for example 🙂 ). But, it should look nice. Nearly all of the reviews are favorable on the Dometic 310/320.

We've been extremely pleased with the Dometic Sealand Traveler 510 plus that came with our 2000 coach.

We've been very happy with the Concerto - it's more like home.

Yup, replaced ours with a Sealand 320 Toilet. A good choice.

Thetford Bravura is a economical toilet but not china

Thetford Bravura. Large residential feeling seat and a deep bowl.

We just replaced our old Thetford, planed on "China" but the tie down bolts would not line up on this upscale model. We had to settle on a Thetford Bravura. which has a 5 and 11 clock bolt pattern to match existing configuration.

I don't know if there's a "best" brand, but...I'm in the midst of replacing my old Thetford unit with a Dometic 310 toilet. It's china, but at a plastic price. It has an 18" seat height (residential standard) and a residential sized seat. Mine will be here Monday - I had some floor work to do in my 30-year-old rig first. I'm thinking it will be a nice upgrade. It's got great reviews for the most part.
