Microphor Commode Headaches!!
Jack and Liz,

I struggled with the Microphor in my 86 Newell and to a lesser extent in our LXi. Sometimes it was a water valve, then an air valve, then the flush flapper. Since Ryan at Mr. O's found the sloppy air valve that was leaking under the lavatory, I've had perfect service. It's probably cheaper to fix what you have, but I understand your frustration.

The other problem is...high-line coach designers such as BB, Prevost and Newell use Microphor air-flush toilets so they can install the toilet(s) anywhere in the coach regardless of where the blackwater tank is. The air-flush is not there just to make an expensive sound. Itforces itlaterally over to wherever the tank is. If your toilet happens to be positioned over or near the blackwater tank, you could probably retrofit without much trouble. If it weren't for hot water issues, waste issues and refrigerator issues, I'm convinced a lot more people would own motorhomes.

Howdy, Y'all.

Once again the non-existent quality control for Microphor commode parts strikes again!!! Jack replaced the valve control solenoid in our Microphor electric commode this past Monday and it worked for a whole 24 hours!!! The last go round, the electronic module died and it took 3 tries before we got one that worked. Jack is fed up with working on this piece of c**p. He wants to replace this Microphor with some other brand of commode. Suggestions, recommendations or ideas would be welcome.

Regards,
Jack and Liz Pearce
