"Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" is a 2005 stop-motion animated comedy film produced by Aardman Animations. Directed by Nick Park and Steve Box, the film follows the beloved duo Wallace, an eccentric inventor, and his faithful dog Gromit as they embark on a mission to stop a giant rabbit terrorizing their town's vegetable gardens. The story is set in the fictional town of Tottington, which is preparing for the annual Giant Vegetable Competition. As the event approaches, the duo's business, Anti-Pesto, thrives, thanks to their innovative contraption that captures and removes pests from gardens. However, their success is threatened by the appearance of a mysterious creature that is devouring the town's prized vegetables in the night. Wallace, inspired by the creature's size and appearance, becomes determined to create a mind-altering machine to "cure" the rabbits of their insatiable hunger for vegetables.
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.
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.

Joined Jul 27, 2010 Posts 162I 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.

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.

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.

Reviews for "The Success of "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were Rabbit" - Breaking Box Office Records"
1. John - 2/5 stars - I didn't enjoy "Wallace and Gromit the Curse of the Were-Rabbit" as much as I thought I would. The storyline felt a bit dull and predictable, with very few surprises along the way. The humor fell flat for me, and I didn't find myself laughing out loud at any point. The animation was impressive, but that alone couldn't save the film for me. Overall, I was disappointed and wouldn't recommend it to others.
2. Emily - 3/5 stars - While "Wallace and Gromit the Curse of the Were-Rabbit" had some entertaining moments, the overall experience left much to be desired. The plot felt thin and lacked depth, and I found it difficult to connect with the characters on an emotional level. Additionally, some of the jokes and gags were repetitive and became tiresome after a while. Despite its unique animation style, this film simply didn't captivate me like other animated movies have in the past.
3. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was quite underwhelmed by "Wallace and Gromit the Curse of the Were-Rabbit". The humor felt forced and aimed more towards children, which left me feeling disconnected. The plot was fairly predictable, and I found myself losing interest halfway through the film. I understand the appeal of the Wallace and Gromit characters, but this particular installment failed to meet my expectations. I would recommend other animated films over this one any day.
