FWIW, I raised my toilet by building a 1 1/2" High platform. The toilet is attached to the pipe and closet flange/seal on top of the platform. I had to make sure that the pipe to the tank was long enough to raise the closet flange the 1 1/2".
My efforts were to save the avocado green toilet that was original to the trailer. It matches the green shower stall. While I had it removed, I cleaned up all the working bits and replaced the flush spring. After hitting it with rubbing compound, it shined like a new penny. :B
