I can touch the floor

[BeachHouse]

Our 2005 25' trailer has the corner bath with shower and the toilet. The toilet sits on a platform above the black tank. The platform makes the toilet about 2 1/2" higher than a regular "comfort" height toilet. No shorter RV toilet is available.

Because the plywood covered with laminate platform was showing some age and needed to be replaced, I took it all apart and found that the platform was artificially higher than necessary. So I built a new platform out of solid surface (corian) material.

Now the toilet is just the right height. Now if I could just make the corner bed into a regular bed -.

You're oh, so right about the toilet in the corner bed 25's and 19's not being a comfortable height. Drove us nutz.

Very nice fix you made there.

We dealt with it in another way...we "raised" the floor by building a wooden piece that sits in front of the toilet on the original floor ... and covered it with vinyl ... Since these pics were take we have gone a step futher and cut a small throw rug down to fit the shape and snapped it to the top of the "lift"...we can unsnap it for laundering...

No pics but i dealt with it by replacing the toilet with a ultra low profile marine toilet from Dometic! I will try and get some pics soon...

Plan B was to make a platform but when I saw I could lower the throne, I went with that since I needed to rebuild the one we had.

I sure didn't know about a shorter toilet. I looked at all the Dometic RV toilets. What model of marine toilet did you find?

The cramped toilet space and the corner bed will be why we will trade up when I retire ... To old to become a contortionist lol
