Wobbly toilet in TAB 400

We are prepped and ready to take our 2022 TAB 400 out on it's maiden voyage this weekend!! One thing I did notice in our prep is that the toilet is a little bit  wobbly (not much) and it seems to be caused by the toilet doesn't completely align with the floor (see pic). I did tighten the bolts a bit and it did help some.

Am I just being overly sensitive or are others experiencing something similar? This is our first RV. Any suggestions for a fix is highly appreciated (dealer is 6 hours away)

Thanks!

    Probably not too uncommon of an issue being the toilet is on a plastic floor that has some minor give to it.  I look at ours and while ours appears tighter than yours we do have a very small, maybe 1/16" gap on one side of the toilet.  The toilet moves every so slightly but is solid and not troublesome at all.  If tightening the bolts does not completely fix your issue and it still bothers you, you may just have to shim it a little.  Unless it looks like another issue and needs or can be repaired.  You can always reach out to NuCamp with a quick email and photo and see what they think.  I honestly do not think you can always get the toilets completely flush with this type of floor.  Here are a few photos of our 2021 400's toilet.

    Awesome, thanks for taking those pictures!

    I did contact nuCamp - they were the ones suggesting to just tighten the bolts. But it's nice to have something to compare it to. I don't think there is any functional issue and at this point it's hard to tell when sitting down. It's most apparent when pushing the flush pedal - which is probably more about wanting it to feel more sturdy. I'll try to shim it at some point - thanks for the suggestion.

    @SoCalEsben just don’t break the seal to the top of the tank when you mess with it. There is a rubber gasket but ours also had sealant which was very difficult to remove when I swapped out The toilet to a porcelain unit.

    @JeffroNC, what model porcelain toilet did you use for the swap?  I want to do the same.
