Use a flat blade screwdriver to flip open the white plastic �doors� behind the toilet seat. Under these covers are the heads of the plastic attaching bolts. You will have to reach under the back edge of the toilet to hold the nuts while you unscrew the bolts.

All I can say is Dometic should focus on making toilets. They seem to do that better than refrigerators.

Thought I would add that I just installed the new toilet seat we got under warranty to replace our flimsy plastic one that had a broken (now that I have it off, just a backed out pin). It is a solid seat, solid lid and much nicer than the original one. Probably not as nice as what you can buy at HD or Lowes, but much better than the one that came with the coach. Also, not sure if they are always shipping the exact seat we got but would be worth a try, if you're still under warranty.

I'm late to this "potty talk" thread, but I'll show what I installed yesterday and why.

I upgraded mine for "sanitary reasons" rather than 'cus it was broken, which it was not. The OEM Thetford toilet seat/cover is functional however the reinforcement ribs on bottom side of the seat are difficult to fully clean. Think: "splash catchers" if you get my drift. I had the same style Thetford porcelain commode and plastic seat combo on my former Lance trailers and didn't like that aspect.

So with plans to use my recently acquired 337RLS for extended stays as 2nd home "park model style", I headed to the local Home Depot with Thetford seat/cover in hand to see what would fit. Actually, most anything intended for a round bowl should fit but in reality doesn't or at least not well. It took a few purchases with subsequent returns (thank you H-D!) with the one shown below as the winner. The issues with the Thetford round commode are; non-standard outer bowl profile and the raised area at rear of the bowl adjacent to the seat mounting holes. Most seats I considered and/or actually brought home for test fits either didn't match the bowl profile or with mounting tabs encroaching on that raised area.

The one shown is this linked American Standard Fluent Round Slow Closed Front Toilet Seat in White, which is high-grade plastic with underside hinge push buttons for quick release for complete cleaning of the bowl area. You'll see how well the shape and design complements the Thetford commode. I'll note that the seat would close as was designed to do, yet didn't fully contact the forward edge of the bowl until pressure applied (such as sitting on it). I bought a 2nd one same model which did likewise. A quick permanent fix was to place a neoprene rubber washer with same OD as the hinge mount gasket under that gasket which provided necessary clearance for break-over angle allowing seat to full close and contact the bowl on its own. Success!

This is typically done by unscrewing the bolts or hinges that hold the seat in place. Use a wrench or screwdriver, depending on the type of fasteners used. Once the old seat is removed, you can clean the toilet bowl and prepare it for the new seat. It is a good idea to use a mild cleanser or disinfectant to ensure proper hygiene. Make sure to dry the area thoroughly before proceeding with the installation. Next, align the holes on the replacement seat with the mounting holes on the toilet bowl. Insert the bolts or hinges through the holes and tighten them securely. Again, you may need to use a wrench or screwdriver to tighten the fasteners, depending on the type of hardware used. Once the seat is securely fastened, test it by opening and closing the lid. Make sure it opens and closes smoothly and stays securely in place when closed. In conclusion, replacing the Thetford Aqua Magic Style II toilet seat is a relatively straightforward process. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily install a replacement seat and restore the functionality of your RV's bathroom..

Reviews for "How to Determine if your Thetford Aqua Magic Style II Toilet Seat Needs Replacement"

1. John - 1 star - I'm extremely disappointed with the Thetford Aqua Magic Style II replacement seat. The quality is just not up to par. The seat arrived with scratches and marks all over it, as if it had been used before. Additionally, the hinges were loose and didn't seem sturdy at all. I contacted customer service and they were of no help, refusing to provide a refund or replacement. I definitely do not recommend this product.

2. Sarah - 2 stars - The Thetford Aqua Magic Style II replacement seat did not meet my expectations. The installation process was a nightmare as the instructions were poorly written and confusing. It took me hours to figure it out and even then, it didn't fit securely on the toilet bowl. I found the seat to be uncomfortable and it didn't provide proper support. Overall, I was not satisfied with this purchase and would not buy it again.

3. Mike - 1 star - I regret buying the Thetford Aqua Magic Style II replacement seat. It was advertised as being durable and long-lasting, but it started deteriorating within a few weeks of use. The material began cracking and the seat became wobbly. It's a complete waste of money and I would not recommend it to anyone in need of a replacement seat for their toilet. Save yourself the trouble and look for a better alternative.
