Re: [A/S] Toilet part help

I'll second what Tony said about repairing an old toilet. The one in my 1992 34' started leaking also. My local mechanic grew up in Airstreams. His Grandfather showed my father how to winterize one back in the early '90's. All the unbroken parts are as old as the one that failed and will also fail soon. I did not go with the porcelain though. I got the current Thetford. We're installing it next week. I got a great price and excellent service from AdventureRV..netin TN.

My toilet is running and I need a water valve of some kind.  My trailer is a 62 model and the toilet appears to be original.  Any idea of what I need to look for online? 

I think the toilet is a thetford but I'm not sure.  It has the step on flusher tangy.

Thanks

Hi Camilla,

I once rebuilt the toilet in a '74 A/S and was sorry that I did.  The parts cost more then half the cost of a new one and it was still an old toilet with discolored warped plastic parts.  I strongly advise getting a new Dometic porcelain model 310 (formerly known as Sea Land).  It will fit the same floor flange (with a bit of adjusting) and it's easier to keep clean, looks better, is easier to work on, easier to get parts for and you won't have to deal with the old nasty one!  Camping World carries them.
