Question:

If the plastic parts on the base of this Seaflo toilet break, is it easy to find repair parts and replace them, or do you need to buy an entire base? I have a Thetford Aqua Magic II porcelain toilet where the base broke, and I need to either buy a new base or replace the toilet altogether. Its very difficult to just replace parts. Ive tried it, and ended up breaking more parts. Its not made to be easily done. I am on my 3rd RV toilet in 5 years. Currently I have a Thetford all plastic one that is less than a year old, and the water sporadically keeps running in and overflows after it is flushed.

Hi Faith,

I completely understand where you’re coming from, and after going through multiple toilets like that, it makes sense you’d want something that’s easier to deal with and doesn’t turn into another full replacement.

The honest answer is that across RV toilets, including Seaflo part # SE42MR, the base itself isn’t really designed to be replaced separately. If the base cracks or breaks, you’re typically looking at replacing the entire toilet, and that’s pretty standard across brands. Where Seaflo is different, and where it helps in your situation, is with the parts that actually tend to fail. Things like the water valve, seals, and internal components are much more accessible and easier to replace, which is what usually causes issues like the running water you’re dealing with now.

On your current Plastic Thetford like part # TH52SE that symptom of water continuing to run or occasionally overflowing is almost always tied to the water valve not shutting off properly. That’s actually one of the few repairs on those units that’s meant to be serviced, and we do carry the replacement valve kit part # TH34FR77BX Aqua-Magic Style Plus and Style Lite toilets. If your toilet matches one of those, that kit replaces the valve assembly and is typically the fix for that exact problem without needing to replace the whole toilet.

If you do decide to switch, the Seaflo toilets are generally easier to maintain in the areas that matter most. They offer replacement parts for common wear items, and the layout is simpler to work on, so you’re less likely to run into the kind of frustration you had before. It won’t change the fact that a cracked base means replacement, but it does reduce the chances of smaller issues turning into bigger ones. If you tell me your exact model of Thetford toilet, I can make sure the Seaflo is a proper replacement.
