Neo Luxe 120 or 180, front and rear wash.
Wife picked the 120 after I figured out how to install the fancy heated, blow-dry, and maybe bluetooth and camera equipped ones. That saved a lot of work and $$$. I was doubtful at first, but after doing the three at the S&B I mounted one on the Dometic 306+ in the MH. Wife thought I was a genus. (That only lasted about 58 seconds) It mounted right up, took a 5$ adapter from the hardware store to hook the water line.
We find it works okay on the pump, hookup is better. Sometimes that cold water is an eyeopener when you acquire the target. Cut the TP use and shortly after came the Great TP Shortage. We smiled every time we went to Costco and watched the show in the TP aisle.
I have no idea if it will work on your Thetford. They are ~$30 on Amazon, buy and take a close look. Even if you can't mount you know the return policy. I got ours of the Warehouse Deals

I also went for a simple model with no electrical connection. Has worked out well.

Without trying to get political, every time I see this title in the latest post box on the right I think "Biden seat recommendations" then I do a second take and go oh!
The problem with installing a bidet, is that by code, the water connection needs to have an air gap device to isolate the bidet from the water supply. Your home toilet has an air gap device built into the fill valve, your washing machine at home does too (its internal in the machine), your black tank flush also has an air gap device (if installed properly) and really, honestly doesn't need a special hose for that reason.
Even when I installed a hand spray nozzle with my toilet it came with an air gap that replaced the original Dometic air gap and had a second outlet on it.

We installed a Genie Stealth model on our AquaMagic II toilet because we have limited space to the right of the toilet. It is unheated, and I really don’t have an issue with it. We also have an unheated bidet at home. We tried the Brondel attachment, but I much prefer the seat style.

We replaced our Casita trailer OEM Thetford tacky-looking, tacky-sounding, bacteria breeding, low quality plastic toilet with a high quality ceramic Dometic 311 Low Profile Round Toilet and added a 120VAC residential high quality Brondell Swash 1400 Round Toilet Bidet Seat which has a heated seat, blue night light and provides function rich control of endless toilet bidet seat warm water. This was a trival mod for us but we have considerable skills most don't.

The AquaMagic looks similar to our toilet with the "hump" behind the seat.
Thank you for the replies

Four recommendations;
1. Don't get up from the seat when it's on.
2. Don't stand and look down into the bowl when testing to see if it works.
3. Keep towels handy for those that need to see if it works.
4. Simple add-on from Home Depot - we have two in our sticks and bricks and they work just fine.

Might have to get a heated hose after the last 2 mornings started out in the low 40's. Lol....

Note that if traps are required they will also be on the spray hose for the toilet and should already be there.

We have Bindel Bidets. All 3 toilets in the house have them, and I installed one in the camper. We've had both a Thetford and a Dometic 310 (we currently have the 310) and the same Bidet switched from one to the other just fine. Ours is the simple one ... remove the seat with the 2 plastic bolts, slide the bidet in place, place the seat on top of the bidet, and rebolt it down.
Water connection was easy, but I improvised a little by add a cut-off that matched the supplied water line that came with the bidet (like in a house connection). We've been toilet paper free now.
As stated above, we also installed all of ours Pre-Covid hysteria. When everyone was going insane hoarding TP, we were laughing at the insanity. In the last 5 years, I think we have purchased, maybe ... 10 rolls of TP, mostly used for blowing noses or picking up after the dog when they have accidents.
Our septic tank at home is better off, and our black tank in the camper is much cleaner without all that paper clinging to everything. (yes, use a clear section of sewer hose on your stinky slinky so you can see what's actually coming out).
The only down side of the non-heated, non-blow drying bidets is the .... "uhh-la-la" you get in the Winter!

Yours looks about the same as our Luxe Neo. Only thing is the controls are on the opposite side.

For the best bidet toilets look no further than a Japanese branded one. 'Toto' is one of the big brand ones in Japan.

As long as you want to spend a few thousand on an RV toilet, go ahead! Maybe for a S&B, but the power and water requirements aren’t terribly appropriate for most RVs, even a big Class A. They are nice though! I encountered one in the wilds of either Canada or Alaska (can’t remember) at a small store/bakery.

Actually, in addition to better comfort/hygiene, we use our 120VAC toilet heated bidet seat to conserve water and eliminate needing any toilet paper to better enable long duration dry camping in our small trailer. A bidet seat reduces the need for showers and not using toilet paper makes latrine black/gray tank dumping an option where allowed. So the only things that limit our dry camping duration is sourcing food, water and propane.

My comment was in regards to the Toto brand of bidets, not bidets overall. I adore mine, and we have them in both the S&B and the motorhome. But I survive just fine without the heated option.

We have only used Brondell bidet seats and have been very happy with them. So we can't speak to the Toto brand, but would expect it to be stellar just like Japanese vehicles. We went with the heated option because it was a trivial modification for us given our personal capabilities. We are also 100% DIY and we have never hired anyone for anything ever. And we have four of these same bidet seats in total which makes swapping them out an option if ever one fails that we need...and none have failed thus far during the now 6 years we have had them.

We deliberately got the left-handed one instead of the right handed one for the camper. The ones in the house are right handed. We spend so much time in the camper, when home I reach with the left hand and nothing there. Then I step up with my foot to flush and .... yep.... no flusher there! Duh!
