Thetford42137 Base for Aqua-Magic Style II Toilet - High White

This is the exact replacement for my Thetford RV toilet base. It is fairly easily installed, although the instructions are sort of cryptic - they are trying to do too much on a small document. I had to remove and replace mine a 2nd time because I installed a gasket upside down!The quality of the hardware included was good, again identical to the original.

Great fit! Went on really easy .

I simply can't comprehend how a defect like this couldn't have been caught at quality inspection! It is so obvious and has wasted my time and effort. Thetford ... not a good effort on their part.Ok returned this one and ordered another ... the new one was packaged well and did not show any damage. Installation however, was another issue. For some reason the place where the top seal is placed in the old base was formed into the plastic of the base. The new version has a small circular piece that gets inserted into the throat of the base ... but it will not stay put ... keeps creeping out making it impossible to attach the bowl to the base because one cannot compress the bowl onto the base with enough force to both seat the insert and twist the bowl into the 4 little "fingers?" that hold the bowl to the base. Two little screws were need to hold the piece into the base so it would stay put. Next issue is the little fingers that hold the bowl to the base. These did not stand high enough to allow them to slide properly to connect to the bowl to the base when attempting to twist onto the base. A pair of channel locks were used to bend the little fingers upward so that eventually they would clear the bottom of the bowl allowing the twisting of the two pieces together to actually happen. So a 30 minute job turned into a couple of hours and wasted colorful language phrases that could have been put to better use.

Very impressed with the quality well built and sturdy and for the price you cannot beat it highly recommend

This is a good direct replacement. Had a firm initial fit, took some coaxing to get it on. Hookups was spot on, well pleased with this product.

Very well made and was fairly easy to swap out. Makes life simple when things work . Very reasonable priced for what you receive

Perfect fit. Easy to replace. Better than buying entire toilet. Installed butt have not used with camping.

The entire package is much easier than dealing with the high tension spring that has a plastic retainer. The parts are over $50 and the entire base is a little over $80. If you try to deal with the spring you will understand.
