Bob, the flap in the mechanism part of my Thetford “Jobbie-wheeker” is missing! It surely can’t of flushed out of the cassette? Have you ever experienced this? The flap that closes the cassette is missing. There is a moon shaped bit in the bottom of the tank. I’m about to clean it before opening up the mechanism circle. Thanks for the tip with the bit of wood. If it is not repairable, I’m hoping that Thetford will do a replacement mechanism part.
@BobEarnshawMoHo2 жыл бұрын
You can take the top round part off the cassette to have a look if it's repairable. Thetford do a toilet refresh kit, which is basically a new cassette.

Good morning Bob just found your channel and subscribed. I’m recently retired. Had caravans in the past but always fancied a motor home. I have a few concerns though ie Restrictions once on site if you want to go out for a short trip. Parking during high season if you visit small towns etc I realise you tow a small car but I don’t think that option would work for me. Shall I go back to a caravan? The other option I’m considering is a VW California but can I cope with the restricted living space. There’s only me, my partner and a large dog! Decisions decisions pros and cons for all. Anyway I’m looking forward to viewing your recent videos and will follow you in your future travels.Thanks Charles
@BobEarnshawMoHo4 жыл бұрын
We often use the motorhome for short trips out, usually find parking spots. If we are tidy in the motorhome, we we can often get going in 10 minutes, so it's not usually a problem. I think being organised and tidy is the key. But having the car with us is handy too, especially for multi storey car parks in cities! It was interesting when we borrowed the Bailey Alliance 59-2, great having a smaller motorhome, and for a short while not too much bother making up the bed.

There is the round circle that twists off ..to the right of that is a small plastic cover that can be removed , it’s about 4 inches in length and about 2 inches wide.rounded on each end .When you remove this little plastic cover you are looking into about a 1 inch hole with plastic pieces inside that seems to go to the bottom of the tank.
