Raising toilet seat height

We have a Thetford C262 cassette toilet fitted in our 2015 Bailey Unicorn 3 caravan. Due to hip replacement we need to raise the height of the seat by about 2 inches. We initially thought we could buy a seat raiser from Thetford but they only manufacture raisers for their C2/3/4 series non of which will fit our model. Does anyone have any advice or alternative options for raisers.

    You’ll no doubt be aware of this type of riser.

    Why not measure your Thetford and pop along to your local disability aid shop and see what they've got that might fit.

    When I had my hip replacement the hospital loaned me a riser for a domestic toilet and I wonder if the same sort of thing might help in your caravan. It really depends how soon after your operation you intend using the caravan? We didn't use the caravan until 12 weeks after my op (more to do with me towing and sorting the caravan rather than any toilet issues) and by then I didn't need the riser, just a thought.

    Thanks David and Tinwheeler

    I have looked at online options and trying to get as close a size match as possible. One hip done and 2 years to wait for the next one! Raiser will be a long term item so will try to get as close a fit as possible.
