I did something similar to you as my better half would drive around with the tank not empty when attempting to fix the black tank sensor that was always starting at 1/4. When we drove without 10-15 gallons of sloshing debris, there wasn't an issue... Also, the impact drill your using is dangerous for over tightening those screws. I always use my torque adjustable DeWalt and set the adjustment to what I feel it calls for. Thank you for the nice detailed video and happy trails!!!

Oh great! I just had my model 300 replaced for free by Dometic. I paid an upgrade fee of $75 to get the model 310. I hope that I do not end up with the issue spotlighted in this video. The issue I had with our model 300 was disgusting and frustrating!! **EDIT** Hey...wait a minute. That is the model 300, not the 310. The 310 has a 1-piece ceramic bowl.

Excellent video! I guess you didn't have the issue that I currently have? When I unscrewed the bowl from the base, the nylon spreaders dropped the nylon nuts inside my bowl. I can hear them moving around and will try to fish them out. Otherwise, those long screws have nothing to screw into. If i get them removed, I'll definitely seal up like you did. Thank you for sharing this!

It almost sounds like you have a different series. Is it both a plastic top and bottom? It almost sounds like you have a ceramic bowl and a plastic base?

@ducsauce85 Ай бұрын

@@PilotCooking yes, ceramic bowl and plastic base. It is a 310 model per the sticker. 2016 Jayco 26BH. Did you think about making or having a replacement gasket made?

@ducsauce85 I can't really answer to the design of the ceramic bowls. What I would look at is compared to the video that I put up with your lower half. If it looks like the upper and lower are about the same then I might be concerned. At least concerned enough to impregnate the gasket with R TV silicone like I did with ours.

@@PilotCooking thanks. My biggest concern is fishing out those nylon nuts. Wish me luck!

I'm having the same issue. I used permatex grey from auto parts store. It bonds better to plastic versus silicone. Great video explaining the issue and a solution.

Thanks for the video. Unfortunately I'm stuck doing this disgusting repair too. And very similar feelings toward Dometic -- I expect if we all just returned our leaking products (without bleaching them first) we might see a little more action. In searching for a replacement, I'm not finding much selection for RV toilets that don't also come with their own faulty designs and issues. They just don't make stuff like they used to!! Should have probably repaired the old one.

Thx for vid. So I want a toilet that has full oval or at least regular dimensions if it round to switch out the seat to household bidet that a must because I have GI problems & poop a lot. So I do my own plumbing/home builder and want the scoop on is the 320 (no longer in the Dometic Amazon store but available from retailers/liquidators) as good a way to go with the RTV fix or who has a better oval full bowl flush? People comment there’s problems with all of them so is this the only big issue w/these models? And so is it (thanks to you btw!!!) basically solved via RTV impregnated gasket (is the best way to go and is better than the silicone sealant mentioned in a previous vid?). I’m on a tight timeline plus my foot pedal broke So I have a broken cheap POS that I want to replace and have been trying to find a good full flush bowl that’ll accept a 15” wide bidet seat. Any advice to shorten figuring out what to have rush shipped is sooo much appreciated-D

Thank you for the video! Looks I have a weekend project! Can you please to a 'tools required' list for this job?

Socket set with a long extension., gloves, diluted bleach, plastic scraper, roll of paper towels, RTV silicone.

Can you share a Dometic part number for the large oval gasket. I have NOT been able to find. Thanks.

@PilotCooking 2 ай бұрын

Here is the problem. Even if you order the seal that joins the two halves together.... It is defective and still allows liquid to flow into the void between the two pieces. My suggestion is to take the toilet apart, With gloves of course, Clean the existing gasket and dry it thoroughly. Then using rubber silicone impregnate the gasket. Join the two have together and you shouldn't have any problems for years.

Can’t you buy a replacement seal for the 300 model?

I looked and found a $70 replacement at some point. My issue is the leaking still happens with the new gasket as it is a design issue. Using sealant is the best bet.
