Wishing you all the best for health in 2017,
I've been making progress on the refresh of my 75 Royale, and have had success finding answers for some of my challenges but not much luck when I search removal for my toilet.
I would like to remove it and can't find a how-to for my specific Aurora model, I do not have the small access port on the top seat area as some searches have mentioned.
Any help is appreciated as well as suggestions for a replacement unit if that's the decision I take?
Stay Well,
Mike

Odd.
are you replacing it? If you are, maybe get a hole saw and see if you drill a hole and find that bolt.
should be one bolt down by the foot lever, and the other way under the little cap on the rear right side.

Thanks for the link Jon, as strange as it seems my toilet, model AURORA (CP) WHT, PART NO: 19231, CODE: 961C30 OR 961030 does not have the access plug. At first I thought I was looking in the wrong place but not easy to miss, simply not there?
The toilet appears to be in good shape and while out to do flooring I may decide to replace it which is why I'm asking for suggestions. I purchased the coach back in October and never tested the toilet, the PPI didn't reveal any issues but I may purchase a new one while it's out anyway.
Thanks for the help,
Regards,
Mike

You can download a manual for the Aurora toilet. Just search goggle under Thetford Aurora toilet. It is not on the Thetord site.
This is a ceramic bowl toilet that I had for many years. It worked very well and was easy to clean.
It had a horizontal slide valve. After a few years my valve began to leak and started to rust.. The toilet had been discontinued. They wanted $80 for a new valve assembly so I decided to replace the toilet.
I bought a Thetford Aqua Magic with the foot flush pedal. This was also a ceramic bowl but had an elongated seat. I bought the high profile model which has the seat about 17-1/2” from the floor rather than the 13” of the Aurora. This brings my elbows above the bathroom counter which I find much better. The Aqua Magic has several updated features and is much easier to install.
The Aqua Magic has a “half ball” rotary valve which works better and is very self cleaning.
I dissembled the Aurora and cleaned up the rusted parts of the slide valve and found a new seal which together with some silicone sealant solved the leak problem. I then sold the Aurora on Craigs list for $60.

GMC Jimmy wrote on Tue, 10 January 2017 15:08GMC cruse... thanks for the link to the drawing, I did find this during my generic search for the toilet model and since there wasn't any additional information I decided to keep looking. I didn't pay much attention to the placement of the mounting in the drawing. This may be helpful in locating them, thanks for the tip.
lqqkatjon...thank-you for the link to the Dometic 310 model, I have heard this unit discussed and it seems like a good choice if I decide to purchase, thanks again.
emerystora... thanks Emery for the suggestion, I will dig deeper into the search pages for a manual. I do like the idea of a higher profile unit and if I go the purchase route it is something I will consider, thank-you.

Mike,
You realize we are working OLD memories here, but the side panels - part 9 - are how you get to the hold down bolts. You should only need to loosen them about a couple of turns before you can spin them off with a finger tip. I remember lying on the floor and looking in through the pedal space.
