What Toilet Bowl Ball Gasket

Can anyone tell me what toilet bowl ball gasket is needed for my 2021 Coachmen Pursuit 29SS?

None of the manuals identify what specific toilet I have and nothing is indicated on the toilet either. I know they aren't all universal.

It needs to be replaced as water won't hold in the bowl.

Thanks.

It is often only slightly more expensive, and much easier, to replace the whole base of the toilet than change that gasket.... Check out the various YouTube videos on this subject... A friend just went through this situation...

Replacing the gasket is an easy job, but have you lubed it with Vaseline?
I lubed mine and it is still sealing well a year later.

I had a seal that wouldn't several years ago. I filled the bowl with the hottest water I thought would not harm the toilet. I let that sit and repeated it with more hot water. It worked and has held up.

Order Placed

Thanks for all the replies, learned a lot.

I've been informed it's probably a Thetford toilet. Amazon has a Thetford seal with the correct dimensions for $8. Order placed, I'll report back after installation to help others with the same question.

Happy travels!

I replaced the bowl gasket on my Dometic, but it did not help. The problem was that I was too cheap to replace the ball and all. The second time I replaced both and done a good cleaning of both halves of the toilet and it worked well. I also use the treatment Thetford makes for the seal. it may be a waste of money but it's not the first time. I filled the bowl with enough to cover the seal when I winterized it last fall also.

Fixed

Through reverse research I was able to determine it's a Thetford Aqua-Magic Style II. Thetford's manual states to remove the toilet, separate the halfs, and then replace the seal.

Action complete, it's now holding water. Thanks to everyone for the instructions. Happy travels!
