China Toilet
I have a 27 International FB with a plastic toilet.
Is there a full size toilet with a china bowl that will fit into this unit?
Thanks

That is a wonderful idea but could this end-up a weight issue?

From the same place, there are the SeaLand versions:
The Traveler
SeaLand Toilet - PPL Motor Homes
and the Traveler Lite
Dometic - PPL Motor Homes
The Traveler Lite has a flimsy seat and lid. I went with the regular Traveler in my Excella and am glad.
By the way, I've been very pleased with my dealings with PPL.

I'm going to have check ours, now. I thought it was china (vitreous enamel really, but who's counting?).

VTS also sells the Sealand Traveler (as well as a a couple of others)...we have one in our '56 Safari - we like it as much as you can " like" a toilet.

Only time I would worry about that (and I don't) would be in a 1970-80's vintage 31' with the rear bath. FWIW I have two of them and plan on putting the china throne in my 1975.

We are contemplating a new china toilet in our 06 Bambi. From what I've read they are pretty light-weight and it makes a nice improvement. We're thinking it's a great investment.

Our 2012 model will have a porcelain toilet. Not sure of they are putting them in all the AS's or just larger ones.
I was surprised because Im thinking it would weigh a lot more but our salesman said it's not very heavy.

How difficult is it to change out the plastic for the china. I've replaced many residential toilets; is it similar?

It's not difficult at all. My suggestion is to incorporate a flexible supply line, so if you should change to a different model in the future, the task will be even easier.

Not to be too personal but what is the advantage of the china toilet over the plastic one? I don't find much of a problem with ours.

why china over plastic?
They are: - harder to scratch
- easier to clean
- won't yellow with age
Mebbe there's other stuff, like they are shiny, but I believe that those three reasons are the Main Jazz.

I noticed that the website for these china bowls have an adapter from a 4 bolt to a 2 bolt pattern. Are the new(er) Airstreams the 2 bolt pattern? Also, has anyone purchased the 'sprayer' option and is it worth the few extra dollars? I presume the sprayer is for cleaning the bowl....

Size does matter. The china toilet is closer to the size of a normal home toilet. Plus as before mentioned, durability and ease of cleaning. Plastic vs china you make the call if given a choice, I would pick china!

We had our 2010 25'FB Serenity at the Mothership in September to change out the toilet to a china one. The one they had ordered for us would not fit, but they offered us a Thetford "Bravura" toilet - still a plastic bowl, but an elongated style, and it came with a spray. It takes up a little more space, but it's far more comfortable than the cheesy plastic one that came with the trailer. We're quite happy with it.
