Toilet upgrade advice

Our family is looking to upgrade to a different toilet. I really do not know any other way to ask this question but we would like a replacement toilet, that is long enough front to back, that would allow a person to do both "things" at once without learning a new yoga move. Any suggestions are appreciated.

The rough-in diagram should show which measurement to take.

I found the dimension to the back wall is a bit overstated.. you can get by with a couple inches less. I ordered the bigger model from Amazon, found it was too big, returned no problem for the 302310173.

AFAIK, they are all 10" rough in from back wall.

OK now I am questioning my measurements. I currently have the Aqua Magic V, which according to camping world needs 11 inches of clearance from the back wall to center of flange but the Dometic 320 only needs 10 inches. I measured from the back wall to the center of the hole in the toilet, did I take the wrong measurement?

I finally went to my storage facility and measured my current toilet placement. I am inch short from the center of the drain to the back wall according to the camping world website. I have about 9 inches to the center of the drain in my current toilet and this toilet requires 10 inches. Any other suggestions?

It has some clearance dimensions and bolt hole pattern info.

It isn't ceramic but we got the tall (19 inch) elongated Bravura. We didn't have room for a ceramic one and didn't really want the extra weight anyway.
Ceramic does clean a lot easier and doesn't seem to require brushing as much.

Thanks for the suggestions I will look into this model. Does anyone know how much room I need from the back wall?

We replaced out toilet and after I installed it I found the shower door, which swings over it, only cleared it by 1/4"!
So if there's any type of door that opens over it make sure the new toity isn't too tall.

Sourcing it?


I put one in my Allegro. eBay had the best price, from what appeared to be some random seller but turned out to be Colaw. It should be an easy job in 99% of rigs, but it wasn't for me. The collar upon which my old toilet sat was permanently glued to the black tank and the mounting bolts were not clocked properly. Dometic also makes a kit (expensive for what it is) that will adapt the new bolt pattern to the older style. It raises the terlet up about 1/4". It's already pretty tall, but it doesn't bother me. My family loves it.
