Update ... After weeks of conversation between the repair facility (Premier Motor Coach here in Tucson) Service Manager and Sealand/Dometic Sanitation, the appropriate model was sent for installation. Assured by Dometic that it was the exact and appropriate replacement, we were expecting good things. HOWEVER ... what they failed to address was that the mechanics that actually flush the commode are on top of the floor and the china bit sits directly on it. The new commode sits perfectly on the flushing mechanism, but does not reach the floor! So, a box would need to be built and we would also lose the storage cabinet behind the toilet. Sigh. Our guy went over and over all this with Whatshername at Dometic. Fat lot of good it did!!
So ... the Turbo Turd is going to stay. My guy is lengthening the wire connections that are VERY short and make finding any loose connection really difficult. Constant vibration causes loose wires, inevitably ... so we need to be able to access the board and all the connections. That will be one thing addressed. I was also worried that the board itself would fail and I would not be able to find another. I now know that they are still to be had, as they are used in many marine toilet units. My board also has a good protective coating and is in very nice shape for it's age. The coating is because it is generally a marine component, and protects against corrosion from salt and moisture ... makes sense to me! The vacuum system was just serviced, the board is in good shape, the wiring is being tightened up ..... I am going to think good thoughts and go boldly into the future with no fear of being stranded in the middle of nowhere with a coach full of grandkids and no crapper.
Everyone send love and light our way!!!!!
