Hey Francisco, thanks for reaching out!

Do you know what the rough-in measurement is for your Aqua Magic VI low profile toilet? This measurement is taken from the bolts on the toilet to the rearmost part of the toilet.

the Thetford Aqua-Magic Style II Part-Timer RV Toilet # TH35SE you were looking at has a 9-1/2" rough-in measurement, but I also recommend checking out the Thetford Aqua-Magic Style Plus Part-Timer RV Toilet # TH76FR which sits a little higher (at 17-1/2") and has an 11" rough-in.

The biggest difference between the Style Plus is that it has a 360 swirl for the flush as opposed to the 5 jets that the Style II has.

The Residence Weekender # TH32SE you referenced isn't a ceramic toilet so you wouldn't get the style you want with that one.

What rough-in measurement do you have, and are any of these interesting to you?

Hey Francisco, Did you get a chance to measure the rough-in for your current toilet? I'm curious if any of the options we discussed caught your interest. Let me know how it goes, as I'd love to help others in a similar situation!

The rough in from bolt to wall is only 8” on a Northern Lite 8-11. At least the 2023 model.

@Mevans Thanks for the info! That will be helpful for other neighbors looking to confirm the info on their campers. Are you working on any projects in your Northern Lite 8-11?

@JerryB No projects at this time. I had just replaced the toilet with the Aqua Magic VI. I was hoping to put an Aqua Magic Residence but found that measurement wasn’t enough in our wet bath. ??

@Mevans Understandable there. The profile on the Aqua Magic Residence (# TH52SE) is bigger all around than the Aqaua Magic VI # TH37SE, so it definitely won't fit in a lot of campers, especially a cab-over-camper. I don't think you can go wrong with a Thetford toilet, though. Those are truly well made products!
