I have an older Class C - 1993 Cobra Passport - and I need to replace the toilet. It's a low profile hand flush and I'm probably wanting to go back with the same. It sits up on a raised platform against the wall - 6 inches above the main RV floor.

Removal looks straightforward but I'm not seeing how the toilet is connected to the black drain pipe that runs down to the black tank. I'm not going to have to cut anything - black pipe, etc? Read of a rubber seal (as opposed to wax ring), but does the toilet just sit on top if the drain, or is it connected somehow?

Any suggestions on replacements? Right now, just looking at the Aqua Magic V.

The toilet sits on top of a toilet flange similar to residential toilets. A rubber gasket is used instead of a wax ring that will fail when the RV vibrates going down the road. Once the water line and hold down nuts are removed, the toilet just lifts up.

My preference for a replacement would be the Thetford Aqua-Magic Style Plus porcelain bowl toilet. It's available in both high and low profile versions, but it is a foot flush unit which I prefer. I've had the high profile version since I replaced an Aqua-Magic V in our 1995 motorhome in 2008, and even transferred it to a newer motorhome in 2013. The Style Plus uses a standard residential toilet seat.

Check your flange bolt positions, some are at 9 and 3 o'clock, some, but not all Thetfords are at 11 and 5 o'clock.

Bolts are at 9 and 3.

Is the Style Plus worth the extra $$? More than a $100 more. but I like the idea of the porcelain bowl, just not sure about the foot flush. Since the toilet already sits up on a 6" ledge I'm concerned about my wife's ability to flush it with her foot. She is leaning more to the hand flush.

Once the old toilet is removed, the new Thetford Aqua Magic IV toilet can be installed. This involves attaching the toilet to the floor using the bolts provided. The water line can then be reconnected, and the water supply can be turned back on. Overall, the Thetford Aqua Magic IV toilet replacement process is relatively straightforward and can be completed by most RV owners. By following the proper steps and using the appropriate tools and supplies, a new toilet can be installed and functioning in no time..

1. John - 1 star

I was extremely disappointed with the Thetford aqua magic iv toilet replacement. Firstly, the installation process was a nightmare. The instructions were unclear, and it took me hours to figure out how to properly fit the replacement toilet. Once I finally got it installed, I noticed that it had a constant leaking issue. No matter how many times I tried to fix it, the toilet just wouldn't stop leaking water. I ended up having to call a professional plumber to come and fix the problem. Overall, I would not recommend this replacement toilet to anyone.

2. Sarah - 2 stars

I had high hopes for the Thetford aqua magic iv toilet replacement, but unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. One major issue I had with this toilet was the flushing mechanism. It was extremely weak and often required multiple flushes to get rid of even the smallest amount of waste. Additionally, the seat was uncomfortable and felt flimsy. It didn't provide any support or stability when sitting on it. It's safe to say that I was disappointed with this replacement toilet and will be looking for a better option.

3. Mike - 2 stars

The Thetford aqua magic iv toilet replacement ended up being a waste of my money. Not only was it expensive, but the quality was subpar. The seat constantly shifted and was never securely in place. This made it uncomfortable to use, as I always had to readjust the seat before sitting down. Furthermore, the flushing system was unreliable. Sometimes it would flush properly, but other times it would get clogged or not flush at all. It was frustrating to deal with these issues on a daily basis, and I regret purchasing this replacement toilet.
