Mike,
I am in the process of installing the Dometic 320 (gorgeous toilet; almost a work of art!) and discovered the same problem.
Craig,
Have you pursued a final solution?
Joanne,
Have you and Mike (or Craig) come up with a final solution yet?
Since the hinges are on the bottom, it looks like if you added enough wood to the bottom of the opening (less than an inch), you could reinstall it so the top of the door comes up just below the counter top. I *think* that would let it miss the top of the porcelain "handle," which is only useful for transporting the Dometic 320 prior to installation. You would have to relocate the striker down the equivalent amount to hit the existing latch. Since the routed finger pulls are at the top corners, you would still be able to access them.
The best solution might be to get my Dremel out and remove the "pre-installation handle." Unfortunately, Jean might not agree with the customized look.
We can't have been the only people who have faced this problem. What have the rest of you done to allow access to the "laundry chute" after installing a new toilet?
Thanks for any assistance or ideas anyone might be able to contribute.
Trent
