So what is this thing?

We were out last week at a nearby S.P. and one morning I entered the head to use it. I found this plastic cap on the floor. I don't recall any other devices or apparatus used in the bathroom for it come come off of. I surveyed the plumbing fittings to see if was a cover cap, but it fit on nothing.


Any idea what this gizmo is or came from?



I'm flummoxed.


Got any ideas what it is?

I found one exactly like yours in our camper. After over 25,000 miles and 300+ nights the camper is just fine.

OTOH, what the hell is it for?

Enjoy,

Perry

^^^That's it, there are two of those that cover the bolts that attach the toilet to the floor.

Yup, that's a Dometic style floor bolt cover for the toilet.

Thanks all

I'll check, but I was down there and didn't see anything apparent. A closer inspection is in order, and I trust your suggestions.

Yup. These come in some of the Thetford closet bolt kits.
