I’ve watched the UTube vids and this looks very simple and I’m sure it WOULD BE if I could get the daw gone old one out. One vid says “just reach in and pull the old one out”....... sure, for the life of me I cannot get enough surface grip on it to pull it out. I may be missing something here so if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

I just watched a couple of videos and they do make it sound easy. I wonder if you could get enough grip if you used a pair of pliers to help hold it while you manipulate it with your other hand?

LOL! When I first read this, I though "all GDRV products come with Thetford toilets . . . this is unusual?". The repairs are really straight forward, but you have to remove the toilet. Twos flange bolts and a water connection . . . super easy! Remove two retaining screws at the back and then turn the toilet upside down. Then the base twists from locking tabs on the bowl and everything comes apart.

C and R Super thanks to you also. Great GD Family. Travel safe!Dave and Sue

That turkey is often me.
The Dometic is bigger, more comfortable, has a strong wooden seat and a "real" flushing system, has more space in it for hanging parts, and can dump a lot more water in a tremendous whoosh when desired for breaking up stuff in the tank. And as you've read its seals are very easy to replace. A whack of people have replaced the Thetford and been glad they did.
I am not a Dometic agent, I just play one in this forum. I really like this upgrade.Mark - 2018 Solitude 310GK - Ford F-350 SRW diesel short box - Pullrite Superglide hitch
