If you’re a camper it may surprise you to know that you can buy a porcelain toilet for your RV at the regular price. Traveling in the past came with a full package of challenges, from eating challenges to sleeping and relieving yourself out in nature. but that was the past! No one that has lived in a city is comfortable with relieving themselves in nature. It has been a while since RVs came out on the market. an RV(short for recreational vehicle) is a vehicle with a space designed for living in the back, essentially like a house .having an RV enables you to experience an extraordinary lifestyle.
remember all those challenges we talked about before? Well, an RV can ease off all of those challenges, for it has a bed (or two), shower, stove, and of course a toilet. you can buy a porcelain toilet for your RV to make it feel like home, it’s so tempting it makes you want to get one and escape city life. though as you probably know we are not going to discuss RVs, we are rather going to discuss toilets(haha).
Ceramic toilet vs porcelain
When wanting to buy a toilet, this question may pop up in your head, ceramic VS porcelain!! Which one should I get? to answer, yes there’s an answer, in this case, we should first distinguish between ceramic and porcelain. Most people probably think ceramic and porcelain are the same, even the people who do know that they are not the same use the words interchangeably anyway. Well, I must admit that they are pretty similar and there are slight differences, but those slight differences can have a massive impact on your decision-making. the main difference between ceramic and porcelain firstly is the firing and the baking, even though there are some differences in the used materials too. 
while ceramic is made using red, white, or brown clay and is softer and less dense, porcelain is made with white clay, sand, and feldspar and is harder and denser. Porcelain is made under a higher temperature, ceramics are made under 800 to 1100 Celsius degrees while the firing temperature for porcelain is about 1200 to 1400 Celsius degrees. this gives porcelain an advantage, the rate at which porcelain absorbs water is less than 0.5%, which is less than ceramic or any other non-porcelain material used. Porcelain then is more durable and less porous and has a lower chance of being stained or worn out. The price of porcelain is relatively higher than ceramic due to the reasons just mentioned, but this doesn’t mean that ceramic is not good and it doesn’t have its advantages. for instance, porcelain is hard to shape and cut and is only available in simple designs but ceramic is easier to shape and can come with more intricate designs. In conclusion, porcelain is a better choice when buying a toilet for its more durable and isn’t vulnerable to excessive use.

Porcelain toilet for camper
RV manufacturers nowadays design their campers with a built-in toilet and they usually consider standards and comfort when designing the traditional toilet for an RV but despite that most RV toilets are made of light and cheap plastic. plastic toilets get stained and get yellow over time, this makes the toilet much harder to clean and look disgusting after a couple of years. Some people are just not comfortable enough with those designs .even though in some of the newer and more expensive models a porcelain toilet may be used, generally, RV toilets are not made of porcelain. Because porcelain may break due to excessive car movement, this is an issue that can be solved using a little technology and design. ultimately you cannot just change the RV toilet with a regular house toilet, although their usage is the same. the flushing mechanism and water usage of an RV toilet are different from those of a house toilet, therefore if you want to change the RV toilet you need to get another RV toilet.

Porcelain toilet cleaner
God knows how many different types of stains could be found on or in a toilet. Toilets tend to turn yellowish over time and they need to be cleaned almost regularly. Cleaning a toilet is probably never a fun thing to do but the cleaner you keep the toilet the easier it is every time to clean it again. There are many chemical cleaners in the market for such purposes, each has its advantages and disadvantages but you need not necessarily use these chemicals since you can use more natural and in some cases more accessible cleaners.

Allow the paste to soak for two hours, or until the bowl turns white and the stain disappears. Brown stains in the toilet actually are not caused in the disgusting way that people would guess. They are caused by the iron and manganese existing in water so with water softeners they can be prevented to some extent. but How can brown stains be removed from porcelain toilets?

Porcelain toilet seat replacement
Based on the material used, there are two different types which are plastic and wood Most seats are made of plastic. They are more bendable, less expensive, and simpler to clean. Thermoplastics and thermosets are the two primary types of plastics employed, but plastic resins are also an alternative. All three varieties are strong, while Thermoset is slightly more expensive due to its greater scratch resistance. Any color can be created for resin toilet seats, and the surface of the toilet can have embedded graphics or objects. They are therefore ideal for a kid's bathroom. Plastic chair and seats' biggest drawback is that they become cold in the winter, which is the last thing you want to deal with first thing in the morning. Although they don't deteriorate very quickly, wooden toilet seats will keep you warmer in the winter. 
Natural wood toilet seats come in a number of finishes to fit your bathroom and have a more classic appearance. MDF, engineered wood, and solid wood are the two types of wood most frequently utilized. Pressed wood fibers are used to create the MDF hardwood seat. As a result, they are hygienic, cozy, and simple to clean. Solid wood chairs are typically composed of mahogany, oak, or pine. Although solid wood seats have a beautiful appearance, their level of durability can vary greatly, so it is wise to complete your homework before making a purchase. Porcelain toilets have a long lifespan and usually last easily for 15 years but the seat only lasts for 5 to 7 years and then start to get stained or even crack which can be discomforting. Things that you should consider before buying a new toilet seat are durability, noise that it makes, comfort, color, safety consideration, etc. 
Porcelain toilet history
Scottish people invented flush toilets. In 1775, a man by the name of Alexander Cumming created the "s-trap." The toilet no longer emits an unpleasant odor, which was a significant flaw in Sir John Harrington's design due to the straightforward piping layout. The flotation technique was developed shortly after by Joseph Bramah in 1778. The ceramic bowl was created by Thoms Twyford in 1870, making the toilet the "Porcelain Throne" nearly a century later. Thomas Crapper, a well-known toilet inventor, started patenting these ideas about the same time. These elements have seen the widespread adoption of contemporary ceramic toilets. After the toilet's opulent and decadent peak in the 1890s, its history has been one of constant invention and advancement. Between 1900 and 1910, the tall tanks were altered to short tanks. the early flush cabinets were replaced by more effective flush and siphon jets, and the rim, except for the odd tasteful pearl, was almost completely gone and replaced by a soft, white, sanitary surface (is easy to clean). 
Toilets in 1910 were similar to those in use today in both form and function. In 1922, one-piece glass-ceramic toilets were introduced, and in 1928 polychrome enamels completely changed the plumbing color scheme. Economic pressures during the Great Depression led to the widespread adoption of the new, more cost-effective, form-fitting two-piece toilet (the same 12-inch freestanding design). Some of the most beautiful contemporary toilets ever made were constructed in the late 1930s thanks to the movement toward streamlined industrial design. With the exception of NASA space toilets, the postwar era saw mainly subtle alterations to shape and color (and carpeted seat covers). Environmental concerns have led to the development of low-flush and dual-flush capabilities more recently. The toilet in 2013 is identical to the standard flush toilet from 1913, despite our century of toilet innovation.
