Hi floggett, That reminds me i have to do ours, i changed the small vent seal about a month ago, cost a fiver from the local caravan shop but they want £17. for the lip seal sounds a bit expensive to me, so I think I’ll shop around, very handy post for anyone who doesn’t have the toilet book.

Also leave it open during the winter or if the van is not in use for long periods as not doing so will cause it to stick.

also the cassette cannot be removed if left open without damage to it.

Do you need to put vaseline on the seal

i use olive oil ,lid and seal,have done for years without a problem.

£17 wow

last one cost us £8. 5 years ago.
