2. Setup and Installation

Installing the Thetford Aqua-Magic Style Plus RV toilet is a straightforward process. Ensure you have the necessary tools and materials before beginning.

Pre-Installation Considerations:

• Bolt Pattern: Verify the bolt pattern on your RV's floor flange. Some older installations may require an adapter plate if the pattern differs from the standard.
• Water Line Connection: The water inlet location may vary. You might need a longer water line or an adapter to ensure a proper connection.
• Space Requirements: This is a high-profile model. Confirm that your bathroom space can accommodate its dimensions (25"D x 22.5"W x 19.5"H) before installation.

General Installation Steps:

1. Remove the existing toilet and thoroughly clean the floor flange area.
2. Place the new floor seal ring onto the flange.
3. Carefully position the new Thetford Aqua-Magic Style Plus toilet over the flange, aligning the mounting bolts.
4. Secure the toilet to the floor using the provided bolts. Tighten them alternately and gradually to ensure a snug, leak-free fit without overtightening.
5. Connect the water supply line to the toilet's water inlet.
6. Test the toilet for proper flushing and check all connections for any leaks.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance is essential for the longevity and hygienic operation of your Thetford RV toilet.

Cleaning and Care:

• Approved Cleaners: Use only cleaners and deodorant products specifically designed for RV toilets. Household cleaners can damage the seals and internal components, leading to leaks or malfunctions.
• Flush Valve: The design of the flush valve ensures it wipes clean with each flush, minimizing residue buildup.
• Seal Inspection: Regularly inspect the flush ball seal for any signs of wear, cracking, or debris. A well-maintained seal is crucial for preventing water loss from the bowl and containing odors.

Winterization:

For detailed winterization procedures, refer to the comprehensive owner's manual.

5. Troubleshooting

Below are common issues and their potential solutions.

Common Issues:

• Water Not Holding in Bowl: If water consistently drains from the bowl, the flush ball seal may be dirty, worn, or improperly seated. Clean the seal thoroughly or consider replacement if damaged. Ensure the foot pedal is fully released after each flush.
• Leaks: Check all water line connections for tightness. Inspect the floor seal for proper installation and any signs of damage. A loose or damaged seal can cause leaks around the base of the toilet.
• Odors: Persistent odors can indicate a problem with the black tank, inadequate use of RV toilet chemicals, or a faulty flush ball seal. Ensure proper black tank maintenance and check the seal's integrity.
