Need toilet help. quick.

Ok... DW and I are seasonal, and our site doesn't have sewer hookup.
However the park has their own honey wagon, and dumps our tank twice a week if needed.

When they unhook their hose, you can hear the suction release. I belive this suction cracked the plastic "gate" that holds the water in the bowl. Now it will not hold water, and the sewer gas is coming into the camper because there's no water in the bowl.

Is this gate/flapper thingie hard to replace. It's a Thetford model 310.
I've got the manual and I do not see that part listed.

Thanks for any help.
  • Well, I just called Dometic. That part is not replaceable. They don't even offer the part for sale.

    So I'm looking for a new toilet. But I want one I can service the entire Unit, not half of it.

    Jp, thanks for the link, but it doesn't fit the 310.

    However, take it from another seasonal. The only part of the toilet that I didn't replace on last winter's trip was the bowl. Just buy a new toilet for $100.
  • Youtube has a few videos.

    That must be some suction as your roof vent should have handled it... I think.
