[C320-list] electric toilet conversion

[Barry Lambert]

I, too, replaced my cheaply built Jabsco with a Raritan PHII.  I love the 
new head!  Had replace the Jabsco four times in five years (a replacement 
was only $20 more than the rebuild kit and a whole lot easier).  Replaced 
with Raritan and haven't even had to do mainance in five years.
