    Posted by Jerry on March 2, 2014 at 7:53 pm

    Has anyone replaced a Headhunter toilet themselves? If so, what is the procedure?

    Replace as in use a different toilet model, or just replace the Headhunter with another Headhunter?

    The way my Headhunter is set up the supply is via a flush valve in the bay, to the toilet, and the waste line is a horizontal run to the holding tank. I would think all of that has to come into the equation to make sure a different toilet will get the proper water supply, plus carry the waste.

    Jon,

    I should have been more clear, I want to replace it with another Headhunter, only to change the color.

    Just thought someone may have some tips on changing it out.

    Can’t help there. Looks fairly easy, but on my two coaches that have had the Headhunter there was some trim involved to hide some of the valving or to make it fit without gaps between the toilet and the wall.

    Jerry,

    If the replacement has the same footprint and no trim issues, it should be just a matter of changing it out with the necessary PVC and pipe change out. It it’s hard piped with copper, it takes more labor.

    OK, I’m hoping it doesn’t have copper.

    I’ve had my toilet up for repairs and I don’t recall issues. I think mine was connected to supply water by hose.

    Darrell,

    I’m just curious….how do you get enough bleach through your toilet to eat up an elbow? Is it something you eat?

    No, When we parked the bus for a few months, I would put bleach in the toilet to stop water rings and the bleach eat up the rubber elbow. If you look down in the toilet you can see the elbow, they was made the same color as the toilet now they are black oniy. The guy at headhunter said they had to change rubber compound to stop that
