Thanks Dennis. Sounds like I won't be able to improve the clearance any
because the problem isn't the down pipe, it's the fitting on the tank itself
combined with the shallowness of the tank. Oh well. Guess we'll just have
to use a lot more water and live with it.

Thanks very much for checking this. Saved me a lot of unpleasant effort.

>>From the toilet flange face to the bottom of the input pipe is approx 7 3/4 inches on my coach. But the end of the pipe stops 1/4 inch short of the threaded fitting in the tank. There is apporx 2 3/4 inches from the bottom of the fitting to the bottom of the tank. (I think this compares to the 2 1/2 inch you measured.) It is approx 10 3/4 inches from the flange face to the bottom of the tank. The top of the tank can move up and down as you install the fitting so +/- a 1/4 inch is not surprising.
