And no, I don't mean a big grey thing with flippers that swims in the sea! lol

When was emptying my loo the other day I didn't realise, till it was too late, that the rubber seal from the inside of the screw cap had stuck round the outlet, and when I tipped up the loo the seal disappeared down the cdp along with the contents. Now the question is, will the loo be ok without the seal round the cap, and if not will I be able to get a replacement from a camping shop? It's a Fiamma Bi-pot btw.

Hi...you may be able to get spares from a camping outlet shop(..I suppose it all depends on how decent a shop it is?)..

The spares DO exist because they're shown on here:

..until you find a direct replacement,you could try a decent(old style) hardware shop,as they may carry a selection of O rings...?

These people should be able to help. I found them when I was looking for a replacement valve unit. Then I discovered that it was not much more expensive to buy a whole new toilet!

This is the reason we stick to Thetford loo's, all the parts are easy to get hold of and the models haven't really changed in years so patching up the old one's is pretty straight forward.

Hope you get it sorted!
