Need Advice Replacing Commode in 1979 FC,SB 35

[Scott]

Hey Henry, I just did some work on our commode in our RB. The pedal
quit working properly. It was very rusty and well after 20 yrs I guess
a little maintenance was in order. I can tell you that there is not
much to "rebuild" if you want to keep the same one. But If you want to
just replace it then I would stay with Thetford brand and it should
bolt up. Check with Thetford about the footprint for the replacment. In
my "bull in a china shop" approach I rung off the copper line and had
to re-solder fittings, and I used flexible hose because there is very
little room behind the unit and it is plumbed directly into the copper
lines. Now I can "easily" remove the unit simply by unbolting it from
the floor and set it aside without "unplumbing" should I "have to"...I
did "have to" when replacing the hot water tank at RIV and was glad I
had room to remove it.
