This has probably been covered before so apologies in advance! When draining/emptying my toilet flush, (thetford c 200 i think?) you have to remove the rubber stopper to release the fluid. This is when it goes all over you and the toilet compartment! Is their a modification/way round this?. My previous van han a fold out tube with a yellow stopper on it to drain down with ease!
Thank's Mark.

I've seen a modification by a friend of mine, who uses one of the black adaptors from an air bed, pushed tight into the hole, (remove the bung altogether), then a piece of plastic tube fastened on to that with a small cable tie.

Another mod, which my local caravan workshop uses, is to take one of the nozzles from a tube of silicon or sealant, trim to size and push in to the hole tight when draining the top tank.

I just take the cassette out to give me a bit more space and then put a small container under the outlet to drain the fluid into. When it stops flowing I blow into the inlet hole and get another load of fluid into the container, I have to be careful with the position of the pot when I do this as otherwise the fluid goes all over my trousers and makes me look incontinent.

You're welcome Mark - Just remembered I've seen this:

http://www.thetford-europe.com/en/about-thetford/news/2011/improved-draining-solution-for-c250-cwe.aspx

but it may not be for your exact model; worth checking though.

Regards,

Al.

i use a tube made by myself.the pointed plastic bit from an air bed pump connected to a rubber tube just pushes into the hole asap after removing the rubber plug.place an old towel inside to catch any stray water.

the only silly question is the one you do not ask.
