Out of curiosity -- how high is the seat of the Thetford 135? I ask because with one functioning leg (and the other containing a titanium knee with not much more than 90 degrees of range of motion) a low seat is very difficult to rise from. Standard toilets in the US are at about 14 inches and that's pretty low. AND, the fellow with one presently working leg asks, how much does a "loaded" Thetford 135 weigh? I mean, unused but filled with fresh flush water. Finally, can this commode be carried with one hand? -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Utility Trailer.
