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
- Drain the water – Flush the toilet to remove excess water. Use a towel or sponge to soak up any remaining liquid in the bowl.
- Disconnect the water line – Use a wrench to unscrew the water supply hose from the toilet.
- Unbolt the toilet – Remove the nuts or bolts at the base of the toilet. Lift the toilet straight up and set it aside.
- 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
- Position the new toilet – Place a new rubber gasket or wax ring onto the flange.
- Align the toilet – Set the toilet over the bolt holes and press down firmly to create a good seal.
- Secure the toilet – Tighten the bolts or nuts at the base, making sure not to overtighten and crack the toilet base.
- 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.
