Alls well that flushes well. I like the extra height. How is it with skid marks ?

If you are asking how well the water rinses the bowl when flushing, it does and excellent job. If your question was purely a joke, well then......

Re: Thetford Aqua Magic Residence RV Toilet
BIG E, Your new toilet the foot flush on ours in the 5'er is on the other side. The ball valve will act up with age. I am having to replace ours for the second. By the way the inside bowl is it plastic or china bowl? Ours is the china bow. Now the TC that is a different critter, does not hold its water it leaks through the slide mechanism straight into the black tank. Have you tried super fine steel wool to remove the rust stain on the floor. Just a thought I had. Nice work on the install...

Re: Thetford Aqua Magic Residence RV Toilet
My pot sits on a shelf so the hieght of the standard low potty is fine, but having the elongations sounds like a very good idea. I am going to get the dimensions of a suitable new elongated pot and figure if it would hinder the approach to the shower. It might make it a bit more awkward.

Erick, glad the new throne seems to be an improvement. I'm still smiling about your original thread

Re: Thetford Aqua Magic Residence RV Toilet
Capt PJ- We put the same toilet in our 920, and if it works in our small bathroom, it will surely work in your's. We used the Low Profile model (Thetford 42170) because our toilet also sits on a raised platform (my legs still dangle a bit). This was one of our better mods, but of course your results may vary... -Grayden

Re: POO-POURRI Toilet Spray
I have avoided using the product. If you watch the many videos put out about the product it always shows that a deep water approach is needed. PooPourri is sprayed on the water surface to form a "barrier" and when "the astronauts splash down" the odor is trapped. No bad odor just a flowery fragrance. https://www.youtube.com/result...rch_query=poo+pourri We are very stingy with the amount of water we use. Does the product still work without the deep water approach?

Re: POO-POURRI Toilet Spray
Jim, I fully understand your view point. But can I assume you use some 'Black Tank' treatment like most of us? We also try too use a minimal amount of water in the bowl, just enough to create a water block to fumes in the tank escaping. Well Poop- Pourri acts as a secondary barrier to control fumes, even with a minimal amount of water and in as much a Very Small amount of Poop Pourri! It's a double down on Black Tank odors! Or a Win-Win odor fighter!! Happy Campers BobnRobin

I don't use that much water. Is your tank really that much bigger than mine?

I think POO-POURRI will still work on a snorkeler as well as a diver. LOL

Re: Nature's Head Composting Toilet
Now that I've had the unit in use for a full year perhaps I can finish my review. The Nature's Head works by separating liquids and solids. The liquids are very high in nitrogen. You can pour them into any toilet. (Or around trees.) The solids are dried. As they dry, the bacteria die off. All that is left is fiber. The solids can go into the landfill. Mine looked so innocuous that I used them as a soil amendment for a tree I was planting. The head is very easy to use and maintain. Due to the...

Thetford Aqua Magic Residence RV Toilet
Back in September I changed out the stock toilet in our camper, a Thetford Aqua Magic V hand flush for a Thetford Aqua Magic Residence foot flush. After two camping trips with the new toilet Cyndi and I both agree it was a good change. Here is the stock toilet I removed. And here is the new toilet. Staying with the same brand helped to eliminate any dimensional problems. I looked at some of the offerings from Dometic but there would have been a clearance issue between the toilet and the back...

Re: Happy Camper Holding Tank Treatment
I premix one scoop with a gallon of water and dump in toilet. I then add two more gallons of water. I have never used any in my grey water tank, but you can if it gets an odor. If you go to the link in my top post there is a tab on the top of the page that is labelled "tank tips" it has the best advise I have seen for holding tanks. I have a 40 gallon each black and grey tanks and have never had a problem with happy camper. It doesn't try to mask the smell like other chemicals, it eliminates...

Re: Nature's Head Composting Toilet
I thought I'd chime in here. DW and I have used our Nature's head for four years. It's been fantastic! I'll reiterate @kaypee's cogent comments. I couldn't possibly imagine doing a water flush toilet, loading a black tank, traveling with several hundred pounds of you know what, and then waiting in line to dump the stuff. I can do the NH maintenance when and where I want to. This is my most recent post about the NH composting toilet. https://community.lanceowners....a-new-twist-series-2 I...

Happy Camper Holding Tank Treatment
My review is for Happy Camper holding tank treatment. We are in Lake Havasu Arizona where it gets very hot in the summer. I have tried different products to curb the odor in the black water tanks in the heat. Happy Camper is by far the best product I have found. We have stayed up to a week in Las Vegas in the summer without dumping the black water. No odor in the camper and no odor after dumping. All my sensors are still working on a 2007 TC. Their website says you can use 2 ply TP and gives...

Re: Happy Camper Holding Tank Treatment
I switched to Happy Camper 1-1/2 years ago after finding the Tech Tank treatment I had been using did nothing to squelch odors. I found the HC is extremely effective at removing odor buildup and I assume it does an adequate job at breaking up the poo though I think most do well. The past 9 months I have started to notice an increase in what appears to be Uric Acid Struvite (see photos in LINK and LINK ) on the bottom of the black tank. I never witnessed these for 4-1/2 years but only about 9...

Re: Happy Camper Holding Tank Treatment
Nothing against "Happy Campers", just offering an alternative. Have used this tank treatment in our RV's since we started RVing. Np chemical or perfume odor. Actually, no odor whatsoever. It just works, from freezing up to 118°+ in the shade (like this past week ). Wish we'd known about it back in our sailboat days. Available at Walmart, Home Depot and on Amazon.

Re: Happy Camper Holding Tank Treatment
I have found with Happy Camper in the hotter temps it helps to add more water, not treatment. It states this in their instructions. It fills your tank up faster, but gets rid of any odor. Give it a try.
