Thanks for keeping me honest. I actually needed to separate the 90 degree bend from the 4 inch PVC; back all that back into the tiny house; tightened that and then pushed the toilet back into position and THEN reattached the 90 degree bend onto the 4 inch PVC which was now firmly attached to the rubber coupler. Good catch. :)
Yes, it uses a fair amount of electricity. Having a usable toilet in a hard or impossible place to plumb is likely worth the trade off though in many cases.
2000 watts. the cycle is 1.5-1.75 hours per use. recommended to increate after each use. therefore ok for a cabin/small home, likely not even remotely making sense for a promaster or mercedes van build. although, some have them in there. (although a straight 2000 watts isnt really acurate as well, as the heat is in a constant on/off cycle) so it may be 1/2 that usage, or for (1.5 hours) 1500 total whrs of use for "1 flush"
Essentially nothing was wrong with the original. The Incinolet folks were kind enough to supply a replacement for me since I'm apparently doing a good job of promoting their product. I've used the original for about 10 years now without any issue. It's made in the USA as well, so it's really a pretty cool product. That's my personal opinion and it hasn't changed since I got my first Incinolet. If you have an outhouse, I guess you don't have much use for it. Maybe you should sell it?
How did you tighten the rubber coupler clamp when it did not protrude outside of the wall?

Does it use up much electricity? I ned to get one for my garage bathroom. Garage is remodeled into a bedroom. One person will be using it daily.

Yes, it cycles. About 1KwH/flush.
What was wrong/broken with the old unit? I have one in a cabin but have never used it. There is an outhouse.
