Hi All,
Still monkeying around with a toilet replacement
for my '74 Argosy 22.
I visited the www.marksrv.com and www.sun-mar.com to view the Sealand RV
toilets.
The model 511+ seems to be the only one that
will fit the site. However, one important measurement is missing in
the toilet dimensions. The distance from the center of the outflow to the
rear most projection of the toilet is 10 1/4 inches. ( The 2011+ is
10 5/8 inches.) The same measurement for the original Thetford Aqua Magic
is 10 inches. I measure the rough in dimension in the Argosy
as 10 1/2 inches. The important missing measurement
is the distance from the center of the outflow to a perpendicular to the lid
hinge. With the old Thetford, I measure 6 inches. The
Sealand 511+ lacks this measurement. This is critical because rear of
the toilet sits under a ledge and the hinge must be forward to allow the lid to
lift to a vertical position.
Has anyone made a replacement of the Thetford with
a Sealand unit in a similar bathroom layout?
Also, the Sealand weighs in at about 40 pounds,
much like the weight of the Thetford Aqua-Magic Aurora. For those of you
with the style of bathroom that puts the holding tank on top of the floor and
the toilet on top of the tank, is there concern about damaging the holding
tank? Is additional support necessary?
'74 Argosy, Joy
