Bolts are there.  The space is so small they are hard to see. 
Thanks for your observations.

There should be two bolts, one on either side just like a conventional toilet. Maybe hidden behind a plastic plug on the base of the toilet. It's been a while since I repaired mine on my R179 when I had it. There might be a Youtube video out there that might help.

Yes.  I agree.  Good thoughts. 
I have a 2015 rpod.  Not sure of the model number of the Thetford. 
I do not see any mounting bolting holding the unit to the floor. 
How is this toilet removed for valve repair?

Most of the time it is the toilet valve. It's an easy fix with the valve and a new seal usually available on Amazon. ]]> Sat, 27 Jun 2026 06:19:49 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16463&PID=155606#155606 Mods, Maintenance, Tips and Tricks : Clean water leak in thetford toilet https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16463&PID=155605#155605 Author: ppine

Anyone had this problem?
Was it a leaking valve or supply line?
When the system is pressurized water leaks out the bottom of the toilet in the middle in a stream.

We have a relatively new RPod 198 and I haven't yet de-winterized it. I did winterize it in the fall, but it's been 6 months and I don't remember if there was anything I need to remember about the tankless water heater when de-winterizing. Could someone please walk me through the steps? Thanks!]]> Mon, 18 May 2026 10:46:04 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16443&PID=155534#155534 Mods, Maintenance, Tips and Tricks : Charging Lithium Battery https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16380&PID=155284#155284 Author: StephenH

You can upgrade the converter portion of the power center. I did so on our 2016 RP-179. I removed the converter and still have it here. It is a WF-8950L2-MBA. When we traded, the new trailer came with an automatic converter that can detect which type of battery it is charging and adjust accordingly. I am keeping the 8950L2-MBA as a backup in case something happens to the automatic one.]]> Sun, 01 Feb 2026 22:08:15 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16380&PID=155284#155284 Mods, Maintenance, Tips and Tricks : Charging Lithium Battery https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16380&PID=155281#155281 Author: GlueGuy

All the the Rpods I've seen have typically had a WFCO converter. Early versions before 2019 or so typically would only handle SLA batteries (Sealed Lead Acid). In later years they started getting the ones that could also do LFP batteries.

I would check to see which model converter you have, then check the model number at the WFCO website.

I don’t think the charger in my R-Pod 191 is lithium compatible. Will I be able to use a lithium battery and jut charge it fully with an external charger?]]> Fri, 30 Jan 2026 12:12:17 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16380&PID=155278#155278 Mods, Maintenance, Tips and Tricks : How do I tell if my Converter is charging the Batt https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16169&PID=155166#155166 Author: dhoni44551

It does sound like your converter/charger may not be charging even though shore power is working. The easiest way to check is with a multimeter: measure battery voltage unplugged, then plugged into shore power if it doesn’t rise to ~13.6–14.4V, the charger isn’t working. The hum isn’t always reliable, but the lack of voltage increase usually points to a failing converter.
