For those who may search for this info. in the future ....

 

Toilet height without lock-down base: 17.5"

 

Toilet height with lock-down base: 17-7/8"

 

Width of "Curve": 14.5"

 

Depth of "Curve": 17"

 

The FWC rear shelf will have to be either removed with use of "Lock-down" base ... or slightly modified in height for use without Thetford "lock-down" base.

I think it would be pretty easy to mod the cover to raise it at least 1/2 ". I just saw a post where you hinged your top and I'm going to do that on mine... but I already have clearance to slide mine under.

 

What type hinge did you use? Piano or some regular cupboard type hinge?

I don't have mine yet. I think you may have seen pics from somebody else's mod ... a good one at that.

I removed the shelf. I will now have to build a 2" high platform for the toilet to sit flat. The back door threshold impedes on the base of the Thetford Curve. 

Will post pic as soon as I fab a base for it.

I ended up mounting my thetford curve on a 2x10 and 2x4 with 45 degree cuts on the door side edges. These were attached to the walls and the thetford floor plate.  Seems fairly sturdy so far.  Had to carve out some of the wall on the left for the flush handle actuation.

Yep ... we have to pull ours out every time in order to flush it.
