My 1988 P19 had a little fiberglass pedestal installed there specifically
designed to fit the footprint of a Thetford PP (though mine is a 135). The
235 is a good choice because of its higher capacity. I assume this was a
piece provided by the factory (HMS at the time). If you could fashion a
similar platform, thetford makes a hold-down kit.

Checked out thetfords web page? Believe it or not, its extremely well done.
