Gear/ Mod Review: SAMODRA Ultra-Slim Bidet on a Dometic 300 RV Toilet
Alright, let’s crank this into mechanic’s shop-service-manual, smartass notes mode—like we’re inspecting this RV bathroom like it’s a piece of shop equipment that stubbornly refuses to cooperate:
Field Service Notes – SAMODRA Ultra-Slim Bidet Install
Unit: Dometic 300-Series Plastic RV Toilet
Operator: One full-time RV family with large Rottweiler shedding advisory
1. Condition Report – Pre-Installation
Interior: Clean-ish, but dog hair everywhere. Pics may trigger OCD.
Bidet: Ultra-slim, residential, non-RV-grade. MSRP < $30. Dual-nozzle upgrade installed.
Fit Out-of-Box: ❌ Doesn’t fit Dometic 300 plastic seat. Requires modification.
2. Mission Objectives
Upgrade RV toilet to full-time comfort level (spoiled spouse mandate).
Maintain structural integrity of toilet seat and bidet.
Achieve leak-free operation.
Avoid permanent plumbing damage.
3. Installation Summary – Mechanic’s Notes
Bidet Prep:
Located internal water channel → avoid cutting into plumbing.
Trimmed only mounting material.
Tools: Leatherman saw (hacksaw or cutoff wheel recommended for efficiency).
Mounting:
Peel-and-stick Velcro temporarily holds bidet during seat positioning.
Final rigidity from modified seat when lowered.
Seat Modification:
Lowered seat, marked contact points, trimmed for clearance.
Goal: snug lock without wobble.
Plumbing:
Hot water tapped from ½-inch PEX under sink. Cold optional.
Components: ½” PEX T-fitting, flexible supply line, inline shut-off valve.
Routing: Through wall beside toilet, clean and serviceable.
Notes: Overcomplicated initial setup simplified to reduce failure points. Flipping RV water pump kills all water anyway.
4. Performance Metrics
Spray Strength: Solid.
Nozzle Alignment: Excellent after careful placement.
Leaks: Zero.
User Comfort: Significant improvement vs. dry RV TP.
5. Pros / Cons
Pros:

Slim profile fits tight space (after mod)
Dual-nozzle for versatile cleaning
DIY reward: happy spouse
Cons:

Zero manufacturer support for RV installs
6. Operator Guidance – Who Should Attempt This
Full-time or extended RV dwellers
Comfortable with tools and plastic surgery on your toilet
