electrically operated toilet experience.
Has anyone had experience with an electrically operated toilet? Our new to us 2003 Mountain Aire has one. I had never seen one before. It seems like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. How is ...

we use plumber silicone "grease" (small jar at Home Depot in Plumbing section). Keeps the seal lubricated. (Use gloves! LOL). We had the electric Thetford toilet in our '04 Country Coach and one day it started flushing by itself. If we hadn't been in the RV it would have flooded. We put an off switch on it so we could turn it off between flushes. Then we replaced it with another Thetford foot flush model which broke in about 7 months right after the warranty ran out! The foot flush mechanism broke. We had to have the toilet removed and a new part installed at our expense. Not cheap. If there was another brand that we could purchase that would fit in the same location with the same plumbing we would replace it. So far it's still working about a year later. For now when you are away from the RV, I would turn off the water and the pump or install an "on-off" switch and keep it turned off when not in use.
