Re: [VAL] Toilet seal, Thetford

Darn, I've seen both model in 69's and was hoping yours was the newer 
one. Parts for the 1800 are going to be tough, mostly NOS parts in 
questionable condition. Some success has been had with just taking it 
apart, cleaning it, lubing a few spots and put it all back together. 
That's where I would start.

The standard replacement for years was the Aqua Magic IV. It has now 
gone out of production and was replaced with the Aqua Magic V. That can 
be seen on http://www.thetford.com/permanent_aquamagicv.cfm

Sealand also makes a line of porcelain toilets that may work.
You can see those at  http://www.dometicusa.com/sanitation.php?id=standard

Just need to take some measurements, do some comparisons and decide 
what's best for you. Virtually all RV parts sources can get any of these 
units. One or two "mom and pop" places might still have an Aqua Magic IV 
left.
Just make sure you have measured at least one time to many before you buy.
