A universal recreational vehicle toilet system with a removable waste holding tank is provided to enable the recreational vehicle manufacturer to have wide latitude in the positioning of the toilet within a recreational vehicle. The toilet system includes an upper section containing the toilet bowl and a lower section forming a base upon which the bowl section is supported in spaced relation above the recreational vehicle floor. A holding tank is partially or fully inserted in the base section and coupled to the toilet bowl for receiving waste therefrom. The holding tank is removable through an opening in the sidewall of the recreational vehicle for disposal of waste. The upper section and the base section of the universal toilet system are configured so that the upper section can be mounted on the base section at any of several angles relative to the base section providing the recreational vehicle manufacturer the ability to place the toilet in a recreational vehicle at several locations without need for a separate toilet system for each location. To further provide flexibility, the toilet is flushed by a control that can be mounted to a wall in the recreational vehicle remotely from bowl and base sections and connected to the bowl and base sections by an electrical wire and a cable respectively.
