Installed Dometic 320 Elongated Toilet

This has to be one of the easiest modification I have done to the Montana.  It took 30 minutes, and most of that was cleaning the floor under the old toilet.


Ordered from Amazon with hand sprayer, since there was only $3 difference.  The new toilet wasn't what I ordered, box said it was what I ordered, but it was so light, that my wife picked it up with one hand.  

I opened the box, and they sent us the new invisible toilet that is super light weight, instead of the 55 lbs Dometic 320. The only problem was the toilet being invisible, I couldn't see it to install it.


The new Invisible Toilet, and it is light weight.

Amazon shipped a new toilet, and said, it would arrive on Sunday.  Package never arrived, and when I looked up the tracking info it said:


8:37 AM
Delivery attempted - mailbox was full 
Fort Mill, S

Well hello, the box is 2' x 2.5' x 2' and there was nothing in the mailbox.  Well the Post Office was closed Monday, so I had to wait for the Tuesday.  I talked to our regular carry, and she said, she will deliver it tomorrow.

She delivered it the next day.  The box didn't show any signs of damage, but when I opened it, the bowel was broke in two places.


Call Amazon again, and they shipped another toilet, and paid the return shipping on the broken one.  Keep in mind the toilet weighs in at 55 lbs.

New toilet arrives Friday (UPS).  Box looks a little damaged, so opened the box while the driver waited.  No damage.. yea, but wait, this toilet doesn't have the hand sprayer.  Another call to Amazon.

Amazon said, they could ship are replacement, and pay to return the toilet I just received.  I asked if they would consider some credit back on my credit card instead, since it weighed 55 lbs.  He talked to his supervisor and they offer me $40.92 refund, and I told them that would be fine.

Here are some picture of both the old and the new toilets.

I put a 90 degree elbow in water line to relieve stress on the water line.

Installed MORryde Slide Out Tray

I installed MORryde Slide Out Try in the basement of my Montana.  The outside width of the tray is 48" x 90".  It will pull out either side about 60% of the tray length.  I put 2"x3" under it to raise the height, so I could put my four solar panel under the tray.










Here you can see the extra Solar Panel fits under the Sliding Tray.

Built a new enclosure around the water pump, that can be removed without having to take the tray out.  Also gives us 10 more inches in the basement for our long chairs. 

My tray came in a box not pallet, but here is video on the installation.
