Hi all! I have a 2013 18RBT..... have a couple of issues 1) Apparently the toilet has a crack in the back that leaks, Its a cheaper plastic one from Thetford....... any suggestions on a good upgrade? Will most rv toilets fit? 2) The trailer has 2 vents but neither came with a fan, is there wiring already there to install a fan for either one? Thanks for any help!! Camping season isnt too far out!

1: I don't have a strong opinion about toilets, foot flush is about I really care about. Yes, RV toilets are pretty universal.
2: Probably not, but you can usually get power from a nearby light.

Get a Dometic 310, you won't disappointed, it actually flushes. The Dometic 320 is the same toilet with and oval bowl.

You won't be disappointed while it works. I am on my second one, the ball valve that seals off the bowl may crack and cannot be repaired. It is basically a throw away with only a few parts being replaceable.

I was looking at that same toilet, just have to make sure it will fit...... Mine was a direct fit. I suggest you also put a shut off valve in the supply line behind the toilet. Mine went bad leaking water and we woke to a soaked carpet, happened on a weekend so no where to get a replacement. I had to shut water off to the entire camper and not just the toilet, won't happen again, valves cheap.

The valve on the original toilet went bad/cracked, had water running out of the camper..... had to shut the water off, cut the line and plug it just so we had some water over the weekend :/

Won't happen again even if I buy another new, it gets a shut off valve.
