Bathroom module blues

[bright walter]

Hi everyone. Would appreciate any comments or advice anyone might have.
Starting to get ready to use the GM for its first big trip. First I have
that aircraft style toilet. I pushed the flush button today and it sounds
like a thrashing machine. I am not real sure I want this type to begin with
and am thinking of just trashing it for the conventional model. Anyone do
this and is it just an unbolt the old unit, bolt in the new type of
conversion or is this going to cause me nightmares?

Second, I went to check and see what's up with the porthole sized fan in
there and why its not working. I noticed the inside module opening and the
roof opening are not lining up! So I pushed on the vanity side wall and the
module moved over for a bit and lined up before falling back out of
alignment. Anyone ever have this problem? Anyone have any ideas what the
fix is? Help! Still loving my GMC, warts and all, in NJ. walter

Walt, I can't help with the alignment problem but as for that useless
little fan, I would suggest you get rid of it and put a 14" square
opening in the ceiling and put a Fantastic Vent or equivalent in there.

You gain better lighting and the fan is so strong, when on the exhaust
cycle, make sure you bolt your new toilet down real good.

Perhaps the fan installation will help to stabilize the roof/ bath module
alignment problem.

Yep, been considering this option, but I did not know if I wanted to get
this radical right now. I hate to punch holes, make cuts, etc. even when I
have to and know exactly what I'm doin. The module looks brand spankin new.
I am afraid I might chop it up real good.

You bet .

Thanks again, walt 76 GB.
