Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
We are considering replacing our toliet and are in the process of looking at all of the new toliets on the market. Does anyone have any recommendations? We have looked at Camping World. Thanks for your time.....this forum is the greatest!!
We have had 3 in the past 2 years. Dometic Concerto...not recommended...many problems hard to get parts. (it came with our 2007 5er) Thetford Auria Classic..not recommended....Thetford was great troubleshooting on the phone but parts availability was a problem and parts were constantly required. Thetford Aqua Magic V.....so far (8 months) so good.....most RV places have parts (I checked before buying it) and if the toilet malfunctions the whole thing can be replaced for less than $150.
If you go for a china bowl toilet make sure the bowl is deep. We bought one and didn't realize how shallow the bowl is. Don't remember the brand, we got it at Camping World.

There are some things you just cannot do without. Yep, a head is one of those things, and they usually select a time to cr*pout when it is the most difficult to find a replacement.
There are two major brands and the floor flange usually does not fit both. If the underfloor area is readily accessable, the floor flange can be changed out. Ours was not accessable with taking out an entertainment center.
We had the Sealand Cocerto from Dometic. Fancy, expensive and, as said before, not a good product. The CW that was closest only had Thetford (no help) but they had a Sealand Traveler that was special ordered for someone that had not responded to their "its here" calls for six months.
Long story made short - we absolutely love it! Fits better, works flawlessly and cost less than half of what it replaced.
My advice is use your "head"!
