I have a repair kit on order, but the crack extends into the seal area too. I just don't want the potential leak around the seal.

Found that the closet flange was cracked down into the seal area so assume it must be replaced. It appears to be a glued in one. What is the best way to extract the entire closet flange and prep for a new one. Ours has the black tank right below with a very short drop. Luckily, the floor is very solid and no repair needed there, just the closet flange. Thanks for any advice or help!

I have read that (many/ most) RV toilet floor flanges SCREW INTO THE PIPE? So try that first?

Just to follow up...
I bought the reamer that was recommended and cut out my damaged flange. Found that I had the female version that went over the 3" abs pipe... Oops... Had to continue cutting all the way into the fitting that went into the tank. Actually worked!
Found my floor wood to be solid and primed the exposed edge to seal it. Cut a new piece of pipe to correct length, bonded it into the new flange. Then bonded the assembly into the ground out fitting going into the tank. Secured flange with new #12 stainless screws. All anchored solidly. Remounted newly rebuilt toilet to flange. Everything solid and no leaks. Still washing hands as this is nasty work... Happy, toilet is working, flange repaired, leaks gone - on to next problem!
Thanks all for your input. It made a really nasty job about 5% less nasty[emoji40]

From your description, it sounds like you did a very nice repair, rather than some sloppy fix. The repair should last the life of the coach.
