Question Regular toilet for an RV toilet?

[Equinezen]

We have a 2019 Forest River Vibe Extreme Lite. The toilet always stinks when we flush. Could we install a regular toilet with a p-trap rather than continuing to use our RV toilet?

I have known of people putting residential toilets in Class A's.

Two things to consider: water consumption and water sloshing while traveling.

Do you know if the plumbing vent on your roof is working. When flushing, the air that is being displaced by the flush should escape via the vent and not into the RV.

Have your tank cleaned and always use plenty of water. Check roof vent, sometimes they can fall down into the tank.

Also if you have a bathroom vent fan and it is going when you flush, those things historically pull the "fragrance" back into the RV. We always make a point to have the fan off when we flush.

As for the OP question - I don't see how it could work well in an RV, especially one with "LITE" in the name. First, the plumbing is going to be completely different and second, a normal residential toilet is going to weigh at least 80 pounds, possibly up to 100 assembled whereas an RV toilet weighs in at about 10-20 pounds. Will the floor support something up to 10 times heavier? Do you really want to add that much weight to your RV?

We found the pipe blocked by the disk of plywood they cut out from the roof, acting like a valve, as it would move and sometimes vent and others not....had to cut the pipe in half to get it out. On another one they shoved the pipe down thru some fiberglass insulation and pinched it into the collar and made a filter of sorts....it wasn't venting either. Get a cheap camera that will snake down the vent line. Plus wasps will sometime build a nest in there.
