Well my Thetford has decided to save water...no longer adds water when it flushes...having to use water from the sink. I guessing it is the water selenoid valve...any other thoughts?? Thanks Paul

I had a similar issue with my SeaLand bowl in my 2008 Keystone. After researching re-building it I decided to just put a tall Dometic 320. Really nice head. Very similar to what is at home. Most places have them for about $200.00 or so, a little more if you opt for the hand wand or bone color. It is a very heavy toilet compared to most RV plastic commodes. One nice feature it has is, you can partially depress the foot petal and fill the bowl fuller for cleaning and such.

I believe they build them for both floor and stand mounts for MH's.

There is a switch on the control panel that allows you to put the toilet in economy mode to save water. Could this be the case?

Bill already tried that one.....now the damn thing only flushes when it wants to....have to get the thing started by rotating the little wheel on the back...not liking the price of the parts...Paul

Paul, there are several posts around the web regarding this toilet. You might find a quick solution by doing some searching. I think I remember the toilet gets stuck because of the seal. WD40 I think was one of the solutions to fix the seal. And yes, you're right, the parts are pricey and I know that some day I'm going to have to rebuild mine. You might also try youtube.
