Toilet Probs- What would you do?

[JimnSylvia]

The foot flusher on our Thetford Aqua magic is going out. Actually, the water-filler pedal has already broken off, and now the other one is about to go. I have warranty coverage with $100 deductible but, since we live in our 5er, and actually have no way to move it to get it fixed, we have to have a mobile repair co come out.

The question? Would you just replace the whole toilet since I could conceivably purchase a brand new toilet for under $150 and install it my self, or pay the $100 deductible and get just the levers fixed?

We're in a 2001 Cedar Creek. Toilet probably is original.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

For $50 difference and some of your time you're replacing an 13 yo flush lever with a brand new toilet - no brainer IMHO.

Putting in a new toilet is an inexpensive DIY project for most folks.

Just to let you all know: I got a brand new high rise Dometic ceramic toilet with optional sprayer installed for $151! Mobile RV repair guys did all the work, including filing with the insurance people. Very happy camper!

Thanks for all the advice and interest shown!
