Toilet flange in my new RV is very broken and I am planning on heading up to the mountains this weekend.

The flange is glued in and it seems like cutting it out and re-glueing in a new one is above my pay grade. If I wasn't on a time crunch, would probably try to have a plumber address. Can any of you offer input on the below repair kit? Want to know it will work before I put holes in my floor.

I just went thru this a couple months ago. The flange should be glued to a pipe that slides into a rubber boot on the tank. So after I spent an hour trying to unscrew mine I grabbed the fuker and pulled and it slid right out. Any good rv shop will have the correct 2 bolt flange and pipe. I would replace the rubber boots in the black tank while you are there it's like $13.00 and 2 minutes to change. Hope some of that makes sense. And no that flange won't work

Could you access all that through the bathroom or did you have to go underneath to the top of the black?

In a crunch, the one you posted will work.
As @Blue said, it's not too terrible. The only issue can be getting the correct flange. Just measure it and make sure to get the correct ABS pipe and glue for flange.

Once you grab the flange and pull it out of the tank with included black pipe you should be staring at the top of the black tank and rubber boot. Some are a bitch to get to but a lot of them are a a straight shot. I reached down and pulled it out, replaced boot, put a dab of sealant around the bottom of the new pipe/flange assembly, slid the pipe into the boot, new screws in the new flange, new flange bolts, new toilet gasket delio, bolt her down, hook up water and done. Should take maybe an hour with $45 in parts

put this same question in the RV manufacturer facebook page and a rather self-important plumber responded with this

Well, my 06 Southwind had simular isuue: flange was clocked wrong for new ceramic toilet. I cut the pipe with a die grinder from the inside out and used a flange and adapter from Lowe’s. Stinky deal for sure but possible.
