Thanks so much!

I replaced the toilet in our 2002 Cougar with a tall Dometic 320. The original toilet was a Thetford Aquamagic which had a very round shape and wasn't comfortable for the human (especially male) anatomy and was kind of low. It also had a flush mechanism that was a little gray thing up near the toilet seat and you had to bend over and peer into the toilet to flush.
The Dometic 320 requires a little more room in the rear but it was do-able in our camper. I also added an inline shut off valve. The 320 is elongated and about 2-3 inches higher than the original (guessing as I don't recall the numbers). It is porcelain as well. I had a 3xx Dometic in a previous camper and had issues with the plastic supply valve in the rear so I now carry a spare but have never had problems with this one. I think Dometic had a manufacturing issue with the valve for awhile and it affected my particular valve... otherwise, that toilet worked well also. The supply valve is the reason I put in a water cut off valve in this trailer in the event the valve needed to be replaced it could be without disrupting water to the kitchen or bathroom sinks.
