Just started to clean up what we believe is the OEM toilet in our 77 Kingsley. We took it off and are in the process of replacing the black tank. I'm discouraged by what it looks like I have to do to the current toilet. I think I might have to replace the hoses and lots of cleaning and I'm wondering if it's the perfect time to get a new one. It might work or not after I spend a lot of time in the process of finding out.
So, I've read a number of posts and there are a variety of toilets available and it will just have to be a personal choice. We have grand kids so we'll have to decide whether to get a hi or low profile. It sounds like the extra wand is not really necessary - just for wetting and probably a fancy substitute for a toilet brush that may not work very well anyway (the wand).
One main question is what's the difference between the ceramic and plastic bowls, advantages or disadvantages. Plus, how much more does the ceramic bowl weigh?
It also sounds like we should make sure the replacement we are considering fits the space and will be easy to install - fits the old installation hole, bolts, water supply, etc. Someone mentioned water pressure, is that a concern? I thought the foot pump is what creates the "flush".
And, any other comments about water use or other stuff we haven't thought of would be greatly appreciated. Anything we should avoid? None of us have used one of these contraptions before so we have no experiences to help guide us. Any features we should consider as well?
Thank you all.
