Elkmont refrig - 2-way or 3-way?

I find the red manual very hard to interpret as well since geared toward folding models and told TM rep (son of owner) about it. He just agreed, but we have not seen anything different being sent to us.

The recall on the AC is quite a bummer-have to travel some distance for req'd service.

Anyone have suggestions for the toilet lid and seat hitting the curved wall when in up position? Will not stay up, has to be held open. Pretty inconvenient for male passengers! thanks, von iams

Just leave the frig in auto mode and leave your propane tanks on. When you unplug the 120V, check the propane light on the frig. It should come on to indicate that you are using propane.

Agreed about the manual.

The AC recall only applies to Carrier models. Our Elkmont did not come with a Carrier AC, so no recall service necessary.

Our toilet lid stays up, but it is vertical, touching the wall corner. I can see if the toilet were positioned slightly to the right, we would have your problem. Not sure what to suggest: self-adhesive velcro patches? some sort of latch on the wall?

Do you have a 2009 Elkmont, 24'? That is our model. The toilet is situated so far to the right that the lid and seat hit the curved part of wall. When we brought it to dealer's attention they looked very surprised, made a call and said it appears all are that way...???? Is this accurate? thanks, von iams
PS Custom RV agreed to come out about surging brakes when can schedule.
thanks again to everyone who offered suggestions and reassurance.

Ours was built in December 2009. And our toilet lid does NOT hit the curved part of the wall, but comes very close. Also our toilet is NOT the recirculating type which is available for the Elkmont, according to the catalogue.

Does anyone own an 2010 Elkmont assembled prior to Dec. 2009 that has properly opening toilet (does not hit the curved part of bathroom wall?)
Per data card, ours is a Thetford 24300 and is positioned so close to the curving wall that both the lid and seat hit it in the open position.

That sounds like the recirculating version of the Thetford. My guess is that they designed the toilet installation for the non-recirculating model, like ours, then forgot that the recirculating version is wider.
