Toliet Question Replace/Rebuild?

I will need to remove the OEM Dometic Traveler Lite China Model 210 for the new flooring. The toilet is 10 years old and has not had any problems and has given us great service. Would you take this opportunity to replace the toilet or simply give it a complete rebuild with all replaceable parts?

Just wondering what you folks think?

If it were me, I would do an analysis of rebuilt costs vs a new toilet. I suspect you will find it smart both from labor and cost to replace with a new one. I just installed a Dometic 320 in our rig and it was $240 free shipping from Tweetyrv. Not talking about a lot of money.

You might want to just keep the old one until you have to replace it. The mechanical parts were made a lot better IMHO even just ten years back.

I got rid of my Tetford AquaMagic2 for obvious reasons and went with the much better quality Dometic 320 as well. If your lite is a low profile model and you want an ergonomic 18 inch high model, now is the time to get the new one. John

Murphy's law says change it. You have now touch it and removed it. If you can afford a new one get the Dometic 320 like others have said.
