Converting to porcelain toilet

[KevandSyl]

Apologies if this has been addressed - searched and can't find a conversation about it. We have a 2016 30DS. We would like to switch out the stock toilet for a porcelain. Should we purchase from Camping World or have dealer do it? Have any of you done this? If so, which model/brand? Thanks so much!

changing out a toilet is very easy DIY sort of job, I ordered my porcelain off the internet came in three days.

What does your bracket look like they use several types. Our bracket is similar to this and looks to be 30-40 lb capacity.

Found this video on an earlier post. If the toilet seat replacement (with something other than plastic) doesn't do it for you, there are many choices for replacements (including porcelain) and as long as you get the right dimensions, this is a good DYI project.

It is an easy swap. Consider getting the higher toilet so it is more comfortable.

I don't know what brand you have, but I just ordered one this morning (Dometic 310) from adventurerv.net. Check them out, they have great prices. Also, you can find video of the change out on youtube. Looks like a simple job.

Our tt came with the 310. Like the height and the easier to clean porcelain bowl. Only issue we had was with the Blue Streak dispenser and I installed the tee too close to pedal and chemical was not dispensing properly. After watching online Video, I saw my mistake. Was able to flip tubing and tee to near the top of bowl, works great now. Neverlessv the piping pulls out fron top of toliet to install without pulling the toliet in case your are interested.

Easy to change toilets, unless you're like me with a bad back, bad knees, and poor eyesight. But even with those issues I did it, but I also promised myself I'd never do it again.

Still trying to understand the relevance of this mount? ;-)

[DrLewie]

When does a toilet equal a TV? The mount references above is for a TV. The toilet is mounted to the floor with a ring mount similar to the ones used in residential toilets. It uses a rubber gasket instead of a wax gasket and two bolts.

Now, I'll agree that there's a lot of effluent on TV, but the TV bracket won't work on a toilet.

Probably because the crap on tv is as bad as the toilet crap

Yes it's a DIY job.....If you replace with same brand it will be much easier.

Our 2017 29DS came with a plastic 300 toilet but the paperwork we received with the coach is for a 310 model, is the 300 the right toilet or were we suppose to get a 310? Also considering changing it.

[FLTBIRD]

Our new TT came with the model 300 toilet also. It's a piece of junk and they do not make a replacement seat for the 300 plastic seat that groans like a wounded moose when you sit on (and I'm only 180 lbs). You have to upgrade to the 310 or 320 to able to then order a replacement seat too, which comes in enameled wood like a typical household toilet seat. I just ordered a 310 and seat to replace my 300, so I can only assume it will fit ok.

There's a thread where someone put fuel line split in half over the ribs on the under side of the seat. I'm going to try that before buying anything.

Thanks for the info, will probably upgrade to the 310 or 320, cannot stand that plastic toilet

Can someone explain why people don't like the plastic toilets

[Iwannacamp]

My new favorite thing is the "sign of the cross." Best idea I ever heard. If you gotta flush with a cup of water...this helps.

[OntarioFireFighter]

Last spring, I replaced the plastic Dometic in my Grey Wolf; with a porcelain one...

Best upgrade I think I've done on the trailer - took maybe 15 minutes; the new one fit exactly the same as the old (mounting hardware, and water line) - and the porcelain just feels so much more solid... I also think it's easier to keep clean, as well.

Only regret I have? Using the trailer for a year with the plastic one, instead of upgrading it right away!

I just like the quality of the porcelain toilet, the seat on the plastic 300 makes noise when you sit on it, which drives me nuts.
