How to Remove a Camper Toilet
Removing the camper toilet is necessary for repairs and replacements. The toilet seals go bad and cause leaking, and plastic toilets will crack and require a replacement or serious repair. Luckily, removing the toilet is a simple task. The toilet in most RVs and campers is bolted down and easily removed with a common wrench. Removing the toilet can be accomplished by a single person in several minutes. New toilets and replacement seals are also widely distributed through RV dealers.
