I have a classic newell and had an old toilet in the RV and while it worked fine I always wanted to upgrade it. I ended up buying a Tecma Silence Plus 2G and we love it. It consumes a lot of current when it runs but we haven't had a single issue yet (we have been using it for almost a year by now) https://www.thetford.com/product/silence-plus-2g/
We ended up remodeling the entire bathroom and added like 4" to the floor to accommodate for the correct plumbing and everything fitted perfectly, it wasn't needed because we had the discharge pipe right under the toilet but we wanted to do it anyway.
You need to install those sensors for the toilet to work or you can install 2 resistors instead and it'll work anyway. There are plenty of explanations out there about this. You also need a 30amp fuse install and some cable to go with it (we rerouted the cables directly to the battery and we use 8 gauge just in case, it is a 40 amp motor that the toilet has so....).
Did I mention we love the toilet? We also added a bidet to it, it was a trial and error process but we finally found the one that works with this model and we love it.
