2012 Cruise America 27G/E450 v10 chasis update:

I just got the rear anti-sway bar installed by my local Ford Truck/RV service center, I went with the Hellwig (rear) kit which requires no drilling of the frame, as opposed to the RoadMaster anti-sway kit, which requires drilling. Decided to have them install it cause Phoenix is too HOT outside to work on it and my lack of power tools... ~$225.



WOW does it drive better... heck yes! It used to rock-n-roll like crazy just pulling into my driveway over the rounded curb. Haven't highway tested it yet with semi's blowing by, but we're taking it out soon on a kayaking camp trip.

Fortunately had $ to buy new, IMHO used units are someone's else problems. I know my unit and maintained them myself. No trust in rentals maintaining them, if buying used, IMHO private party is best.

I'm guessing that by used you mean a non-rental unit. I'd guess your notion goes double for former rental units. If one is not familiar with the care, feeding and maintenance of a RV then yeah, new is probably better option... at least it used to be. Right now I would not buy new unit period. Since the covid crazy buying and crazy crank em out sloppy factory practices the new ones are essentially junk. As far as former rental... again, sure helps to know what you're looking at... but the folder of rig history of maintenance and repairs is pretty slick and easy to proof by looking at the work done. I've had my former CW rental unit for 7 years now with zero problems beyond the normal maintenance. I'd buy another in a heartbeat... Bottom line one must do what makes them comfy as that is the prime directive for RV ownership!!

I've got a couple of 2015 Thor Majestic 28a Class C RVs that have what appear to be Dometic 320 toilets. One of the seats is worn and the other just broke, so I want to replace both of them. Googling online looking for options, one of the only places I can find a replacement one is here:

https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Dometic/DMC34FR.html

$99 each.

"Regular" toilet seats (for a home) that I would usually buy at Home Depot, Lowes, etc seem to be in the $30-40 price range. They are all slightly different shapes and sizes and obviously it is important to get one that is the correct size (or very close). Do any of you happen to know of a good replacement toilet seat that fits the Dometic 320 toilet? Might be a long shot but thought I'd ask. Otherwise, I will need to measure width, length, bolt spacing, contact point spacing, etc and then manually go to the store and start measuring/searching.

Thanks!
Chris

Soft close. No slip. Perfect color match (bone). Less than half the price compared to the Dometic replacement seat/lid.

Enjoy!
