Our two cents: install a porcelain toilet whenever possible in a vintage
coach. Not only does it keep with the quality of the Airstream
materials, it also feels "right". The plastic potties made for RV's
nowadays belong in the inexpensive throwaway plastic RV's that litter
the landscape. How's that for a statement?
