Toilets

[burningman]

So the big news over here is a shiny new Northern Lite 10.2 EX is looming on my horizon. I know I’ve always said how the heck can you guys spend the $$ on these new campers, but I’ve had it with stick built campers and used Northern Lites are so expensive I’d rather just get myself a new one.
Plus... I made the mistake of taking my wife to the dealer to look at them... game over...

Ok so anyhow, I’ve always wanted to have a real porcelain potty in my camper.
Has anyone here swapped one into a Northern Lite?
If so, what model fit?
What does it come with? I can’t seem to find that info anywhere.

And is it worth it like I think it would be?
I hate camper toilets.

Hahaha....been there, done that.

It wasn't until my third RV that we had a toilet or bath. It just depends on your priorities...

Me too. First was a 1969 Security 8’ with no nuthin’, then a 1967 Security 10’.
The ‘67 10’ did have a toilet, it was just a metal can with a toilet seat that was on a bracket that slid out of one of the forward closets.
When you “went to the can”, you really did.
That was followed by a ‘71 Bell 11’ that had a “recirculating toilet” lol... it was essentially just a can but it “flushed”, which was really just swirling around in a circle, like it was trying to make the worst smoothie a person could imagine.

After that little shop of horrors I got a ‘76 Wilderness that had a real bathroom.... life was good!!
Then a series of big Vacationeers... and now my sights are on a Northern Lite, it’s time for me to get a really nice camper. And I want a nice potty!!!

Not sure about your model but in our 2008 Northern Lite 10-2 CD SE, the toilet is mounted on a somewhat elevated platform above the black tank which results in what is about equivalent to a modern "adult height" home type toilet. I'm sure you could replace it with a porcelain model. If you do, you'll be adding about 40 pounds of weight. -Mark.

That was one of the first things we did to the S&S. Taller and larger...much better comfort and very easy to keep clean.

I can deal with plastic, would just like to have a tall one like I do at home!

Interesting what features are important to people in a TC. On the other hand, we did want a particular type toilet when we remodeled our house. 😄

If a Dometic 310 fits, pay the extra $50 and get a 320. It has a rim - better for preventing splash-back.

We have a 320 and love the larger seat, BUT we have found we fill our black tank faster than the past. Not sure if good or bad as you will naturally use a bit more water with a 320.

Our 2019 Bigfoot came with porcelain toilet.

I had porcelain toilets in couple of motorhomes and loved them.
When you can find plastic toilet that could be comfortable, porcelain are all build for comfort and the biggest thing is that "skid marks" don't stick to them.
Whole new level of luxury.
