Larry, The Thetford PP 135/235 is a perfect fit in the M15. I believe there is a slight gap between the pottie and the plywood cover when everything is in place. I see there is even a marine model 735 that has hold down clamps; of course that isn't necessary in the M15 since, as hard as I've tried, I haven't been able to turtle it. I did manage to put the mast down on the water once; I was so impressed with how well it came back up that I sheeted in and layed it down again; the head was never an issue during all this.
