US source for Thetford C2 parts

PM sent

I ordered from the UK. The dealers in the SoCal area don't even know what a cassette toilet is. I called the factory but frankly, they were jerks; just repeated "we don't sell direct." They make a great product but their marketing department is clueless. With shipping and customs fees I still saved $400 ordering my toilet from the UK.

Found a few parts on Amazon. Bought a new pump there

The only parts I have been able to locate are the pump fuse, and the
car type flasher unit that pulses the pump motor....
These are just off the shelf parts not Thetford parts.

I carry some spare fuses. The flasher unit has to be the exact replacement or it will not fit up in its holder, very tight clearance.

It does seem strange that some supplier has not clued in on this market in North America as there must be quite a few units in use.

I keep the flapper well oiled with Olive Oil as it would seem that mechanism is most prone to failure if it jams and you turn to hard on the open/close knob. Without the flapper and seal you are sort of "up the creek"

You could get by with no pump/electrical circuit, just pour in some water from a container.

I have had ours all apart, mainly to see how it works...

It is a neat little device but a parts source is needed.

Maybe Northstar would have some ideas as they put them in all their campers.

I found some Thetford parts at www.pplmotorhomes.com, but depending on what you need, even with shipping you may get a better price from the UK through www.leisureshopdirect.com

I found a replacement rubber seal for my C4 cassette at http://anyrvparts.com.

I see there are a couple of options I didn't know about.
