we have 2015 Lunar clubman SB used 3 times sinceJuly due to family berievment, up to now the toilet flush has failed everytime we been out, the dealer has traced it to the wiring loom in the toilet but seems it can only be replace by removing the toilet.
The toilet is the new Thetford type which l believe have been more trouble them they are worth, anyone else had the same problem and how did you resolve it, mine goes back in in the first week of May to be resolved, up to now it been back in 3 times, luckly
the dealer is only 15 mile away

    a sad story there, before our current van it was a pull up and push affair, and now we have an electric flush as someone in the mobile toilet design team thinks that the effort required was too much and an push button toilet was 'cool'. But there has been a few posts on here about this type failing so is that electric flush worth it?, the last one a few days ago was the fuse - have you tried that?

    Was a manual flush really that onerous?

    No but I managed to break ours. Pumped a bit too hard.

    We have a lot of trouble with ours, sometimes it is the fuse holder, the terminals make poor contact.

    Other times it is the connections to the panel under the flush button.

    We even had the whole panel fail.

    You must learn not to pump too hard.

    We had a brand new Bailey and on our first trip the flush went. Took it in to be fixed and never had another problem with it. when we took delivery of our nearly new Adria the flush didn't work either but fortuneatly it was only the fuse that time.

    I couldn't see anything wrong with the manual flush pump......hardly any effort, was it?

    Certainly less effort than having to dismantle and unblock the electric flush several times a year.....

    No, you're thinking of hemorrhoids.
