Bigger toilet.

[klutchdust]

Let's face it, these were designed for kids at summer camp. I have the room and would like to upgrade with one that i don't bring the seat up

with me when I stand up. In the Cambria there is room on both sides . I guess what i am

asking for is a full size seat. Can these be switched out without much fanfare?

I wish I had seen that Dometic before I bought my Aria. I really like mine, but it was way more expensive. I have a feeling the Dometic would have made us happy too.

I just installed a porcelain Dometic 310 w/sprayer in our MH. Though we have yet to use it, it is a lot taller (18.5") than the plastic original Thetford it replaced. Plenty of depth, at least as much as a home toilet and seems to have about the average size seat. Has a foot flush instead of the hand type in the rear the Thetford had. Price was very reasonable at $176 shipped and is about $30 less without the sprayer. Uses very little water. Excellent upgrade IMHO.

There's plenty of junk room on my Thetford. It really is a residential sized toilet.

I couldn't believe how many times I went to sit down when I first got my MH and realized my body/mind is programmed for a certain 'distance down to bowl' and since the RV toilet is lower you tend to fall down on it the first few times!!

Never could understand their reasoning to make it lower than a residential toilet.:? It's not like there is a space issue straight up.

Agreed, always weary of my junk dipping the honey so to speak.

A few years back I did a mod to my bathroom; what my sons call "the no room room." I cut out the paneling and converted it into a double slider, adding like two square feet more storage space but more importantly, with the sliders pulled toward the exterior wall, my legs can stretch out a bit which enables me to increase my downward vertical thrust making my download experience more enjoyable. The bowl sits pretty high on top of the dually riser so hight isn't much of an issue.

I upgraded the toilet in my 1983 Jamboree. I bought a Thetford Aria and spent WAY too much. Dometic makes some really nice models with a full sized, porcelain bowl. I would also recommend you go look at CW and buy one that is right sized for your MH.

They really should offer test drives with toilets.

Take a roll of tissue and give it a real test :R

I mainly prefer porcelain... easier to keep clean than plastic.

Hear ya, I couldn't deal with how low they are.

If you want to look at all of the ones available at one time. Just go to a camping world. There is a whole isle of all the different toilets on display for you to look at. Elongated, round, pedestals to make them higher, All the way up to your very own Porcelain Bowl RV Toilet!!

Most RV'ers always upgrade to a 'residential' style toilet. I.E. the same size and height of the ones in our houses!

Installation is REAL simple. The only thing that I didn't think thru was I bought a taller toilet, I didn't pick up the extension parts for the back hose. Duh, taller toilet of course the water lines wouldn't reach! So don't forget to pick that up after you buy the toilet.
