There is several threads about this. Here is one.

Long story short, I have three of this one in the house and it looks like I can make it work in the MH.

Thanks, I'll check out the thread!

We have a Bio Bidet BB-2000 and would like to add one to the GT7.

They use a lot of water and create a lot of black water. Not an issue if you have full hookups.

The “Seat” bidets like the 2000 can be challenging. Most of the RV toilets have a raised lip that gets in the way of the full seat style bidets. The attachment styles are definitely doable in the RV.

We are longtime users of bidet attachments. At home we also use bio bidet models but they can be challenging for the RV. The reason is they use a proprietary thread on the 3/8” connection from their supplied T adapter-and you will not be using the T adapter since you do not have the tank with the 7/8” threads in the coach. We got a bio bidet model installed in the last coach but it required several adapters to get the 7/8 BB “T” fitting installed to then screw the 3/8 supply line on.

The Brondell unit from Lowe’s has standard thread on a STANDARD supply line and connects to a standard shark bite T that can be cut into your 1/2” supply line. I would imagine most of the other Brondell models also are compatible. I am sure there are also other brands that also use standard threads but just keep this in mind when shopping.

The only other obstacle is the toilet. Our Dometic 300 series model accepts normal seats and also accepts bidet attachments. I have installed several in friends RVs and most Thetfords required me to take a grinder and trim the attachment bracket to fit under the seat due to the raised lip. Good luck you will not regret it-we use very little paper with ours installed

Great info, thanks!

We got our Bio Bidet when the TP shortages first started. I've researched bidets before but never got around to buying one.

It was a little weird to use a first, but now its really weird not using one, lol!

That's the standard reaction to someone first getting a bidet.

Got one for my wife's toilet last year, needs a 110 plug because it warms the water and the air dryer. Have tried it a couple of times, but not my cup of tea. But think that a blast of unheated 45 degree water up there would get my attention quickly.

I spoiled DW 10 or more years ago with a Swash 600? from Brondell. All she really wanted was a heated toilet seat. Now she cannot live without it, loves all the functions.
I am glad to see that people have succeeded in installing these units in RVs. She will be even happier to hear this!
So this will be added to the list of immediate upgrades for when I finally buy my RV...

We live in the south, so never had the water 45° but low 70s to 60s is probably common. You would be surprised that the temp of the water is not as big of an issue as you might assume. Believe it or not that area is not as sensitive to cool water as most think.

We started out with warm units about 15 years ago but now just opt for the simple attachment units with cold only for the sheer simplicity and ease of cleaning. The less pieces =less nooks and crannies- the easier the sanitizing. We also replace our units frequently (every year or two) so we don’t spend much over $60 on them.

That is what I said, but we bought one and figured if she didn't like it we were only out a few bucks. She gave
it her seal of of approval. I tried it and was surprised.

I got all of mine off Amazon Warehouse Deals and saved ~$20.

Still got to get it installed into the MH, but too busy being REV/Fleetwood Quality Control person.

What model bidet are you using? Is it perchance on a Thetford 42071 toilet? Thanks!

To update this I just got installed this week. Had to do the ball seals and figured I would do it all at once.

It was a direct install on the Sealand/Dometic 506 series toilet. The only adaptation I had to make was the tee coming off the water supply line. Trip to hardware store did it. No cutting of anything made me happy.

SWOMBO hasn't tried it out yet but I expect she will approve, based on the use of the same ones in the house.

I used the Luxe Bidet Neo 120 from Amazon. We tried one at home, then bought rest. Cold water only but surprisingly it isn't a problem.

Just buy a toilet wand...it can do double dooty!
