Dometic 310 toilet
I just finished installing this new Dometic '310' toilet:
I tried installing the 320 model which is bigger, nicer and heavier, but I didn't have enough clearance to the back wall. There's a "rough in" dimension page which I missed in my research, which would have told me it wouldn't fit. However, according to that guide, this 310 model shouldn't fit either, but it does.
As you can see, I've used a flexible household water hose. Finger tight, no leaks. After a few flushes, I noticed the water was continuing to trickle in the bowl, but that only lasts a few seconds after the foot valve is shut. I hope it stays that way.. I sure don't want to have to return another one!
The seat is pretty cheesy. It's thin and light, and I may replace that with a household seat.
My biggest problem was replacing the 2 upright mounting bolts that slide into the floor flange. I got them out ok (well, they didn't just pull right out), but getting the new ones in was not happening. I could only slip them in the "long" way, which means the oval-shaped head was parallel to the floor flange opening, not perpendicular as I'm sure it should be. I hope when I tightened the nuts that these heads turned a bit to get a better grip.
