Hi there we have an older van at 1994, we have had the van 8 years now and everything still works on her, she is dry with no damp and we plan to own the old lady another 2 years or so.

 

The only thing wrong with the van is the Thetford toilet, don’t get me wrong it works perfectly well, it is an older style compared to what is available in newer vans but the inside of the rinse tank if filthy.

 

However often I try to flush it out, whatever chemicals I have put in with the rinse water when you flush horrible black sludge comes out the pipe.

 

Doesn’t affect function at all just messy and looks dreadful, I now rinse out using the shower extension.

 

Has anyone striped this type of toilet is it a viable DIY job any instruction manuals available or DIY guides or should I leave well alone and just carry on using the shower to flush

 

Any advice appreciated
