Hi everybody!!
I need to know the measurement from wall to center line of toilet. Not sure of brand yet.
It will be an RV style. Just need a ball park fig. Thanks!
I think most rv toilets are the same (some one check me on this). Our 310 Dometic is 10" center from the wall, residential @ 11" ;)
Hi Flight,
It really depends on the toilet. Each brand can be different. This link shows the setup for Thetfords.

Here is some information for Sealand.

Remember, you can always fill in between the back of the toilet and the wall but it is hard to stretch the floor to get the space back if you put it too close.....

Some RV bathrooms are so rediculously cramped, you cant turn a smidge once you sit down. Its like they built the bathroom for a 10 year old kid. I would easily give up some room somewhere else for a smidge more wiggle room around the "crapper". And thats not even considering older people who might need to use your bathroom. Grandparents (or us ourselves some day) can always use a bit extra room. Might wanna consider Mr and Mrs Widend.
If you have your toilet, just set it in place and have everyone important to you that will use the bus sit on it and then decide where it should be. That's how we did ours, and no-one complains!

Your "some day" feels a lot like my yesterday!
The width of the toilet doesn't matter... just stick a stool in the designated 'poo' place, sit down and measure the length between the outside of your kness. If you're smallish, add a smidgen for larger folks (or just for those 'difficult' moments).
