How to install rv toilet

Installing a new toilet in your RV may sound like a challenge, but with the right tools and guidance, it can be a straightforward process. Whether you’re upgrading your existing toilet or replacing a broken one, here’s a step-by-step guide to getting it done. If you’d rather leave the work to professionals, Custom-way offers expert RV toilet installation services!

Tools and Materials Needed:

  • New RV toilet
  • Adjustable wrench
  • Screwdriver
  • Rubber gloves
  • Plumber’s putty or sealant
  • Towels or rags
  • Bucket (to catch any leftover water)

Step 1 – Turn Off the Water Supply

Before removing the old toilet, shut off the water supply to your RV’s bathroom. If your RV has a water pump, turn it off to prevent any water flow.

Step 2 – Remove the Old Toilet

  1. Drain the water – Flush the toilet to remove excess water. Use a towel or sponge to soak up any remaining liquid in the bowl.
  2. Disconnect the water line – Use a wrench to unscrew the water supply hose from the toilet.
  3. Unbolt the toilet – Remove the nuts or bolts at the base of the toilet. Lift the toilet straight up and set it aside.
  4. Clean the area – Remove the old wax ring or rubber gasket from the flange. Wipe down the surface to ensure a tight seal for the new toilet.

Step 3 – Install the New RV Toilet

  1. Position the new toilet – Place a new rubber gasket or wax ring onto the flange.
  2. Align the toilet – Set the toilet over the bolt holes and press down firmly to create a good seal.
  3. Secure the toilet – Tighten the bolts or nuts at the base, making sure not to overtighten and crack the toilet base.
  4. Reconnect the water line – Attach the water supply hose to the toilet and tighten it securely.

Step 4 – Test for Leaks

  • Turn the water supply back on and flush the toilet a few times.
  • Check for any leaks around the base or water connection.
  • If necessary, tighten the bolts slightly or apply additional sealant.
