Yup. Replaced ours a few years back. Modern technology was a pain in the butt. Kept jamming open or closed. I don't recall exactly which one we replaced it with. A bit of leg action and all is fine every time.
The foot print was slightly smaller. Also if I recall correctly the inside diameter has to match. The two old screw holes were still visible but I filled them with colored No More Gaps and all is fine in there now.

regards

Hi Gary. Its my understanding that if the Septic tank is not directly under the toilet you must have a electric to pump it over to the tank. Probably all Tag models are this way.
Might want to verify this, i am not absolutely sure.

While we have a 2001 Intrigue, no tag, the drop is not directly into the tank. It curves hard left to the other side of the motorhome. That's why we like to use plenty of water to get the 'bits' to head left!! As far as I'm concerned it's one of the best 'fixes' we have done to our motorhome. We can control the amount of water much better and have less to worry about.

Gary,

Yes, about three months ago. We replaced our Aria Deluxe II with the Aria Classic. It is exactly the same footprint, bowl size, etc. except it operates with a foot pedal. In fact you can see where Thetford plugged the two holes where the push button switches are in the Deluxe. It is a virtual twin. The bad news is they cost around $600. We have used ours now for about 6000 miles and are very pleased. Not easy to find since most supply outlets don't stock it.

Have you still got connections in Las Cruces? Need a Hydraulic hose replaced. Please send me a name and phone number. Cummins in El Paso only works on engines. No more Coach Care.

I replaced our toilet with a non-electric a couple of years ago. I just got tired of fighting the fussy Microphor that wouldn't seal. The Aria tole does not quite cover the footprint, but it is close enough.

Hey Bruce, Here's to a better fix and less possible surprise headaches. The macerators are great when working. A small 12 volt Batt and leds can reverse the motor on an electric model toilet helping in unclogging one, BUT who wants to wake up to that chore on when its a nice day out side.

I just had a hydraulic hose replaced by Bogarts RV Automotive in Las Cruces last week. Did a good job, they had to have the hose made locally.

It's a real treat driving with no power steering.

Just FYI,

Luck,
Bob
