Gravity challenged? New toilet gives you a boost

If age and gravity are getting you down, Thetford may have an answer -- at least in one arena. Thetford is probably the "Number One" company for producing RV toilets.

So the latest news from Thetford is the introduction of "Aqua-Magic Residence," an RV biffy billed with "a contemporary look and residential-sized seat." Helping us get off and on the throne with ease, the new high profile model puts your seat on its seat 18" above the floor line. If you don't need the boost, the standard unit sits a bit shorter but scales in at eight and quarter pounds versus the taller unit's nine and a half.

Both toilets feature lids strong enough to sit on, a powerful flush, and single-pedal convenience. Like some other Thetford rigs, push the pedal half-way down to swish water into the bowl, all the way down to make it vanish. All this and two available colors, bone and white. Wow!

Get thee to your nearest Thetford dealer and ask for a test drive.
