So what are the current toilet models that don't require modifications to the pipe below? My Microphor isn't working and a repair seems less and less likely.

Tim, with a 40' coach, you may have a different bathroom layout.  I have not found any toilet that would fit.  A few months ago I fixed the leak in the cabinet and installed a leak alert monitor, since it is out of sight.  For some reason, the toilet doesn't leak anymore.  We had been using a small pitcher that resided in the sink to use when we needed it.
The only solution to our problem was to build a small platform with offset to allow for a different toilet; for now that plan is on hold.  Kristi made fun of me when I mentioned the effort to stand up with a short toilet.  Having the adjacent cabinet helps in going all that distance.

So glad we switched over.
Yes you do have to change the drop pipe on the 36' but this is done from above. Twist and pull to remove.  Will also need to fill in tile and remove some tile to clearance. There was one box tubing that may need to be flattened for additional clearance. If you measure the clearance from the wall I believe the 40' coaches need no modifications other than changing. Chris Lang would be a great source for installation information. Our only complaint is that DW says it's too tall.

I replaced the Microphor in our 40 ft 1995 U320 with a Thetford Aria II and no modifications to the pipe below were required. We are pleased with its operation.
