The toilet that you have in your camper makes a big difference in the cost of repair, even if you do not realize it. Some campers think that repairing a toilet is cheaper than replacing it. If you are the Do it yourself type camper that may be the true, however this article will help to educate the rest of us in order for you to make a well informed decision.

The Thetford and Sealand toilets both have parts that are easily obtained, at least for most models I should say. It is most likely that you have a Thetford rv toilet in your camper since the Thetford Aqua Magic Four has been installed in the largest number of RV s by far. I have found that if you are not a do it yourselfer it is for sure in most cases less expensive to replace the toilet rather than repair it. There are some simple repairs that make it possible to repair it for less than replacing it, but you should consider however, that if it is an older toilet that future repairs are quite probable. With that in mind you still might want to consider replacing rather than repairing.

If you do in fact choose to replace it, there is a good chance that you have an Aqua Magic IV which is no longer produced and has been replaced with the new Aqua Magic V. If you are replacing your toilet and have the Thetford Aqua Magic IV, there are other options such as the Thetford Aqua Magic Style Plus or Thetford Bravura Toilet as well as choices from the Sealand line of toilets. You will have to choose whether you want a hand or foot flush, and whether you want to stay with plastic or upgrade to china. You will also have the choice of adding a water saver. Regardless of which choice you make you will most likely be happy with the quality and dependability of any product available.

I have seen do it yourselfers replace a toilet and not replace the floor flange. This is silly. While you have the toilet removed it only makes sense to replace the floor flange and in most cases, when you purchase a new toilet, it will come with a new floor flange. Be careful when reconnecting your water line so as not to strip the threads. This is a common mistake and will lead to a lot more work that is unnecessary. Thetford also makes a great line of RV Porta Potties.

Make sure that you take the time to check out your options and find the RV toilet that is right for you. To some people, it might just be a toilet. However, if you plan on doing some serious RVing, it will be an important decision to make. I suggest you check with your local RV Dealer or shop online with one of the many RV Parts Dealer stores. Do your homework either way. Your local dealer will almost always be your best source of information and help. However, if you are shopping online, if that online store is a good one, they will be accessible either by phone or e-mail during normal business hours.
