Great video, always nice to have a solution if the tank plate is stubborn, however it is worth pointing out this method can not be used on the older Thetford C200 cassette (grey cassette with yellow buttons/knobs) or you will most certainly damage the slider mechanism as the plate is secured with eight screws to the cassette.

Great tip I wish I had viewed this before I replaced my lip seal. Getting the top off when it had been in situ for many years was a real challenge. I tapped all round with a rubber mallet then used a piece of wood and tapped against the channel to gently free it up. Your method would have been much simpler ! The components are in a horrible state so I am now cleaning everything. Thanks !

Hi Folks,thank you for the informative video, newbie here so all tips are welcome,would it be wise to use bleach/detol to clean inside of cassette ?

@keithandmichele 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Patrick, Many thanks for your kind words 👍🏻 As we have said in many of our videos, we’re not experts, just sharing our experiences & tips that we have picked up along the way. With this in mind, personally we wouldn’t use bleach in the toilet cassette as this could be harmful & react to the plastic & rubber seal. When we clean ours, we use Milton sterilising fluid which is effective yet gentle & readily available in supermarkets. Every few months, for a deep clean, we use this method, filling the cassette right to the top with a mixture of Milton & water & leave it in the car whilst driving to agitate it. This gives a thorough clean. Hope this helps 👍🏻 Keith & Michele.

@keithandmichele 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, assuming you lift the front lever high enough over the lip and the blade is closed, the cassette should slide out without force. Never force it as this could do more damage. Apart from opening & closing the blade a few times we would recommend seeking assistance from your dealer or a mobile engineer. Keith & Michele

@keithandmichele 5 жыл бұрын

When you insert the cassette into the caravan, the slider will automatically slide open. When you remove the cassette from the caravan the slider then slides into the closed position. We would highly recommend that you do not remove the slider when inserting the cassette back into the caravan, it is there for a purpose. Hope this helps, Keith & Michele.

Rub Vaseline around the seal from first use. Job done. It stays sealed and easy to remove. Its like rubbing oil around your pressure cooker seal. Removing the lid saves the seal and also acts as a seal barrier also. Job done no need for a chunk of wood. If you have no Vaseline? cooking olive oil will do the job also.
