[VAL] Overlander toilet

[M Tate <firebirdesprit@xxxxxxxxx>]

We have a "65 Overlander and I have replaced the floor and the holding tank. Try 
really hard not to tear up the tank. The toilet flange screws into the tank on the 
original tank and was a weak point in the construction, in my opinion. If you have 
the bolts undone, the toilet should come up, perhaps it might be held down by 
caulking, etc... I put in a Aqua magic 4 because there are not any replacement 
parts to be found, at least that I found. It required the bench opening to be 
enlarged ( CAREFULLY !! ). I used a moto-tool and numerous trial fittings to get 
the opening cut correctly. An added advantage is that the commode in now higher 
and easier to use, not to mention is modern construction and can stockpile 
replacement parts. Now to digress, the flange goes through the floor and screws 
into the tank. Trying to unscrew this often cracks the tank. My tank was broken 
beyond repair when I bought her, so I put in a new tank,  ( Inland RV can make an 
exact replacement if needed).!
 Floor
 replacement entails a lot of work and a fair amount of creativity, as I found out.
Let me know if I can be of assistance. Best of luck!!!
