Hello Martin,
Great question. The Aqua-Magic VI # TH37SE uses the same standard 2-bolt pattern and seal style as the Aqua Magic IV. So from a bolting-it-down standpoint, they’re compatible. The only thing you really need to double-check is the space between your flange and the back wall. The Aqua-Magic VI needs about 7-5/8 inches of clearance, while the older Aqua-Magic IV usually sat a little closer to the wall, around 7-1/4 inches. That means the VI just needs a tiny bit more room behind it. In most RV bathrooms this isn’t a problem at all, but if your old toilet was already snug up against the wall, it’s worth grabbing a quick measurement to be sure. If you can measure from the center of the bolts on your floor flange to the wall behind the toilet, I can confirm for you whether the VI will fit perfectly in your space. I attached an image for reference. Please let me know what measurement you come up with.

Hey Martin, were you able to measure the distance from your toilet flange to the wall to see if the Aqua-Magic VI fits? Once you have that number, I can help confirm the clearance. Let me know what you find—I’m happy to help.
