Toilet and Microwave change out

Added a new Advantium Convection/Micro (close out at Home Depot, $575, same exact one in Sticks and Bricks, wife and I love it there, worked well this past week in Nashville at Seven Points Campground)

See photos - both installed by Parliament in St. Petersburg.  Remove working Sharp and install Advantium charged 1.75 Hours at $110 per hour (less 10% Motorcade discount for $99 net per hour)

Put Aria II Deluxe (White) in place of Microphor.  Microphor had a leaking "flapper box" - would have been $500 to fix parts and labor - new toilet was approx $850 from Parliament, less my 10% Motorcade Discount, so $765  (available for $500 or so from PPL, but toilet was leaking and I wanted it done now) ppl link - (I bought high profile white)

DW loves the thing - higher than microphor plus has elongated seat, but fits seems same size or smaller than microphor in the space.

Time will tell, didn't check ratings, so may be not so good, but after one trip we really like it.

Note in pictures, the old Microphor holes in floor are not covered up by new Aria Toliet.  I will have a temp and permanent fix, but this is an FYI in case that is a deal breaker for you

Of course, I like the electric flush, and black tank is directly below toilet in my coach

BTW, labor charge at Parliament to install was 1 hour.

Parlament also replace the rear brakes (pads and rotors) and serviced the transmission - happy again with the service.

Note - some of the work on the brakes had previously been performed by Tennessee RV in the fall.  I had called James Holder in the fall at Tennessee RV and he said take it to Parliament in the spring when Mom was done with it for the winter and call him with a diagnosis. To his credit, James covered the cost at Parliament to redo the work that was done in the fall at TN RV. Mistakes can and will be made (first hand expert I am!) what I remember is not if mistakes are made, it is what happens afterward. Thanks to James and TN RV for doing the right thing.

I replaced the toilet with the same one and have the same holes filled in on the floor. It works much better then the old microphor and uses much less water too.

I had a leaking Microphor flapper valve last fall.  FT disassembled it and cleaned the flapper seal.  The deposits looked like water scale not waste.  They didn't even need to replace the seal.  Good as new!

Our Micropor flapper was leaking, not holding water in the bowl. Got out a pair of rubber gloves and cleaned off the seal without dis-assembling the toilet. Works fine now.

Flapper and cam not the problem. That leaks into black tank. Box that flapper travels in was leaking water onto floor . Part was 350 plus labor if I didn't do it myself . Easy decision
