Thetford 42137 Aqua Magic II Base-White

This is the exact replacement for my Thetford RV toilet base. It is fairly easily installed, although the instructions are sort of cryptic - they are trying to do too much on a small document. I had to remove and replace mine a 2nd time because I installed a gasket upside down! The quality of the hardware included was good, again identical to the original.

Worked perfect, no problem, easy to install and a great price. Highly recommended it and the company

Yeah! This is the best way to fix the RV toilet. No small parts to piece together in gross areas, just buy this brand new unit and put the bowl on. Make sure to re -tighten the mounting bolts at the floor after sitting on it.

I simply can't comprehend how a defect like this couldn't have been caught at quality inspection! It is so obvious and has wasted my time and effort. Thetford ... not a good effort on their part. Ok returned this one and ordered another ... the new one was packaged well and did not show any damage. Installation however, was another issue. For some reason the place where the top seal is placed in the old base was formed into the plastic of the base. The new version has a small circular piece that gets inserted into the throat of the base ... but it will not stay put ... keeps creeping out making it impossible to attach the bowl to the base because one cannot compress the bowl onto the base with enough force to both seat the insert and twist the bowl into the 4 little "fingers?" that hold the bowl to the base. Two little screws were need to hold the piece into the base so it would stay put. Next issue is the little fingers that hold the bowl to the base. These did not stand high enough to allow them to slide properly to connect to the bowl to the base when attempting to twist onto the base. A pair of channel locks were used to bend the little fingers upward so that eventually they would clear the bottom of the bowl allowing the twisting of the two pieces together to actually happen. So a 30 minute job turned into a couple of hours and wasted colorful language phrases that could have been put to better use.

Im so happy that my toilet finally holds water! Its one of those things that you should've done a long time ago. Im happy with the shipping and thankful it came with all the accessories needed.

Perfect fit good value

Hi everyone! So my old RV Toilet's flush handle came off and this product seemed to be the answer and it was! Everything went as expected except for attaching the bowl to the base. First of all, in order to get the leverage, I had to install the base over the bolts so I could twist it hard. However, it would not fully engage the tabs and thus not align with the bolt holes in the base. I found that the tabs were pretty flexible and found that a minor bend to each allowed the bowl to engage all four tabs. But for some reason, the hole in the base did NOT align perfectly with the bowl. But was able to get the bolts in and that is all the mattered. So all is good! :-) Good luck!

Good product, packaged nicely . Works great

Fue igual a el que tenía buena compra

Had to replace the pedal on my Tethford RV Residential style toilet. It kept falling off after 3 to 4 flushes. Could not reattach pedal properly without removing the base and laying it down. Decided it was easier and cheaper in the long run to purchase a new base. Installation was relatively easy, Did have a slight difficulty turning the base onto the porcelain bowl. Used a pair of pliers to slightly spread the tabs and eventually everything worked out great. Happy I went this root, the water valve might have gone next. The RV has been well used for more than 5 years.

Excellent solution for fixing an old toilet the parts purchased seperately would cost way more. Easy to install and works great, highly recommended.

Fit our porcelain top rv toilet, super easy to change. Our pedal broke on our old toilet. This took us 30 min to change

I have never had an negative comment to make with my amazon purchases, but this was next to impossible to install. The plastice pieces on the top of the toilet base were not the proper size, the pieces were not even cut properly and had jagged corners and were to thick to twist the toilet bowl onto the base. After 2 hrs of tryng to fight with it we managed to bend tbe plastic just enough to twist it but hurt our hands badly in the process while trying not to break it as we had to use such force, never have we ever had an issue installing anything like this toilet base. This base should not have passed any safety checks nor should it have left the factory it was made in, Total disappointed on the quality, and surprised you would put such a mess out for sale. Had to give 1 star to be able to post my review, this product dosn't deserve even 1 star.
