Toilet mounting

Planning to replace our Thetford toilet with a Dometic 311. From what I can tell, the base mounting bolts are the same. Can any one verify that? Are there any other installation issues I need to be aware of?

Thanks for your help.
  • i changed toilets several months ago
    FUBAR
    in this bounder, the floor flange was glued to tank inlet pipe,
    and i could not remove it to install a new flange
    the bolt pattern was different orientation and i had to use a vibrating multi-tool with plunge saw blade and cut NEW notches in the old flange

    this is the 3rd MH, that i replaced the old toilet, and the only one that was a PITA, the other two were easy
  • I changed out the ceramic one in my Monaco. Took about 30 min at the most. Has worked perfect ever since.
  • I'll just add that I replaced a toilet in the MH. Looked easy. That is until I took the old one out and put the new one in only to find out that the water lines where not the same height and didn't reach. sigh.

    I had to take the new one out and put the old one back in. So check the water line hook up that it matches.

    Went the other way.. They are
  • Which thetfrord are you replacing?
    Verify bolts are parrallel to back wall, they should be 10 inches from back wall
