Thetford 42137 aqua magic ji base

I have a Thetford Aqua-Magic Style II toilet with two issues:

1. Bowl will not hold water
2. When you look down into the drop I can see what looks to be a piece of a rubber gasket hanging down.

I bought the kit to fix the bowl issue. Anyone have an idea on what the black gasket is hanging that is further down? If so, if you know what it's called so I can find that part too.

Anyone ever pulled the toilet and made these repairs? Pros and cons?

Sounds like the closet flange seal hanging further down. Should be replaced;

We have replaced most parts in ours (when we had one or two over the years) and just a little bit of time, common tools, and sometimes cramped working quarters.

I just replaced my seals a few weeks ago. You have the bowl seal and the floor flange, similar to a house toilet. My guess is the flange came loose somehow.
I hope you have more room to disconnect your water line. I could barely get my hand back there with a wrench.
It�s a very easy install once you get the toilet out.

Bowl and base have to be separated to replace bowl seal
Have to reach inside from the back to remove the bowl/base bolts

Toilet has to be pulled up from floor mount to replace flange seal.

Now would be good time to install shutoff valve AT the toilet so in the future ALL the water to RV doesn't have to secured if working on toilet again

And if you don;t have the sprayer . that can be added also.
Just snip tip off on closed stub on bottom of vacuum breaker. attach a sprayer/hose to that stub using hose clamp (any kitchen sprayer will work.)

This is what I bought already:
Thetford 34120 Waste Ball Seal for Style II & Style Plus Toilets

This should fix the bowl issue correct?

I just need to get #6 and a common sink sprayer and some way to hook the sprayer up.

Reviews for "Experience the Comfort of the Thetford 42137 Aqua Magic Ji Base in Your RV"

1. John Doe - 1/5 - The Thetford 42137 aqua magic ji base was a complete disappointment. It was advertised as a durable and efficient solution for our RV, but it failed to live up to its claims. First of all, the installation process was a nightmare. The instructions were unclear and the parts didn't seem to fit properly. Even after managing to install it, we noticed that the flushing mechanism was incredibly weak. It barely had enough power to clean the bowl and left behind a nasty smell. Overall, I would not recommend this product to anyone in need of a reliable and efficient RV toilet.

2. Jane Smith - 2/5 - I had high hopes for the Thetford 42137 aqua magic ji base, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. The main issue I had with it was the flushing system. It required too much water to properly flush, which is a big problem when you're camping and need to conserve water. Additionally, the bowl didn't do a good job of cleaning itself after each use, and I often had to resort to using a brush to remove any residue. The overall build quality also felt cheap and flimsy. It's a shame because I had heard good things about Thetford's products, but this one fell short for me.
