Thetford Aqua Magic Style II - the plastic pin that makes the flap in toilet open and close broke so it is either open or closed. Hubby is using a screwdriver to manually push the mechanism.
Is there a better pedal operated toilet that we can get....reviews on these are not great. We need one ASAP because we live in it...not even going to do the warranty. Could we pretty much replace with any rv toilet. I DO want a china bowl though as we had plastic on previous rv and didn't like that at all.

Yes any RV toilet will work. As for quality I can not help much, other than this may be one of those where the price mean a better toilet.
Good Luck

The Dometic 310 is what I have, and generally considered to be good quality by most. I like it, and no problems at all.

The floor flange has to be rotated or modified on some models.
The toilets mounting bolt locations are different.
I changed our toilet out to a Thetford Bravura.
Another minor issue is the length of the freshwater feed. It may need to be extended.

We had a Thetford. Once while flushing it the pedal slipped off my foot and broke. I figured that parts would not be available and ordered a new one, then found parts locally. The new one came and it was a couple years before we found someone who needed it.

For RVs this mostly applies. I've never seen exceptions
Comments on house Toilets later.
There are 2 by 3 by 3 toilets for RV's plus one more
Two: Short or tall. Tall ones are designed to mount to the floor. Short's to a Riser there are very good reasons for this.
Where is the flush pedal (1: left 2: Center 3: Right)
and 1: Round 2: Short oval 3 Full size oval
The additional type is gravity dump or macerator type but clearly you can't swap those.
On the first: Must have same height
On the second. 1 and 3 might be a problem as the water vave is on the same side as the pedal.. 2 The water valve is in teh back and a length of flexible water line is all you need to fix it (how I did it)
and on 3: Depends on the size of .... Your seat.. I like the full size oval
Finally some need "Special" seats. Many take seats you can find at your local Plumbing supply place.. Lowes. Home Depot, Menards, Wal*Mart, Joe's hardware.
Mountings are usually universal and the water connection is as well
HOUSE comments: There is a measurement.. Toilet outlet to wall, that varies from Toilet to Toilet... So sometimes you need to measure that to be sure. Oh and I like TOTO toilets.. They fulsh better.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

We went from the Thetford Aqua Magic Style II to a Dometic 320. Dropped right in and didn't have to change a thing.

We installed a Thetford Aqua-Magic Style Plus toilet in our first Class A in 2008 to replace a damaged toilet. In 2013 we moved the toilet to another new to us Class A that we still have and are still enjoying the Style Plus. The porcelain bowl is easy to clean and the residential seat is a bonus. The only repairs we've made in all that time is replacing a couple of ball seals and a spring.

I put in a domestic 320 a few years ago and it’s been flawless.. Chair height, elongated china bowl and a good quality seat. Craig
