So we were away last week and had an awesome time but 1 issue arose that the toilet was leaking inside its housing between the cassette and the toilet, now after a bit of reading there was 2 things that i come across first was the seal and 2 thin spacers that go below it to make it sit a bit tighter against the seal, i have ordered a seal and fitted it but cannot see where to buy the spacers and where they should go, does anyone know the answer to this bit?

Thanks

    I have a similar problem, some waste is clearly leaking into the cabinet where the cassette sits, i have checked the cassette for leaks, but all seems well, so can only surmise that the problem is a bowl to cassette seal issue. Is it hard to change the seal, are they readily available? Did you ever find your mysterious spacers?

    @ Muckyrob. You need to post the model number of your cassette/toilet. I have the Thetford C250 and just replaced the lip seal as it had slightly hardened over the years, but as far as I know for this cassette model there are no spacers, neither for the cassette or the bottom of the bowl.

    Ours has leaked there when tissue has been trapped in the blade.

     There is a very small gap between casette and the base of the bowl so that the casette can be extracted.  Fluid could leak here if the blade is closed and liquid placed into the bowl. Closing the blade before the rinse has all drained is a likely culprit.
