atrekinthesun Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Our thetford toilet in our motorhome has just broken and looking for a replacement c200 cs I have seen one with wheels.

StuartO Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Thetford sell a full spectrum of parts for their toilets, so repair may be possible. Which bits are broken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Thetford recently 'upgraded' the cassettes in their 'Fresh-up' kits with a new wheeled style. It did result in a small loss of capacity but... http://www.thetford-europe.com/let-it-roll-with-wheels-its-easier-to-handle/ Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wandering if this will fit into motorhome which is a 2003 fiat moncayo Complete Thetford C200CS toilets can apparently still be bought - example advert here http://tinyurl.com/hdggbx2 As Keith mentions, Thetford has recently begun to market ‘wheeled’ replacement cassettes for their older models of toilet, but the toilet itself is unchanged. Consequently, if you bought a C200CS toilet (new or secondhand), even if it happened to come with the latest wheeled type of cassette this would not affect installing the toilet in your 2003 motorhome.

Tracker Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Having used both the wheeled and unwheeled cassette I wouldn't pay for the dubious benefit of the small narrow wheels that are unable, by their design to be compact, to wheel quietly or smoothly over anything but a very smooth surface. The more full and heavy it is the worse it is and it gets quite dirty on soft or muddy ground so to me at least it seems a valiant idea but the drawbacks outweigh the advantages. That said there are users who do find the wheels of benefit to them when the cassette is heavy, so the choice is yours? As has been said you do also lose some capacity which may not matter on a site but when off site with no emptying point in range space for every wee might matter!

Geeco Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I am with you Dave I like the wheels, although they do not like the speed bumps in the caravan parks. I would rather tow than carry. cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cyril (atrekinthesun) finds that his brokenThetford C200CS toilet is beyond economic repair and he replaces it on a like-for-like basis, if a cassette comes with the replacement toilet he almost certainly will not have the option to choose between the non-wheeled or wheeled variety. Presumably Cyril’s present cassette is the non-wheeled type, but it’s to be expected that Thetford will eventually offer only the wheeled variant for the C200 model. A photo in this ebay advert http://tinyurl.com/zyxx3mv shows an original-style non-wheeled cassette, but there’s no guarantee that’s what would still be provided. The significant points, though, are that any C200CS toilet - whether it’s new or secondhand and has a non-wheeled or wheeled cassette - should be a straightforward direct replacement for Cyril’s broken toilet and that C200 non-wheeled and wheeled cassettes are interchangeable. I’d never seen a Thetford wheeled cassette being ‘towed' until a few weeks ago at a French aire. This was a C250/C260 cassette (large orange wheels and an orange emptying spout) and seemed to cope perfectly well being pulled along on a quite rough stony surface. Replacement sets of wheels are available for C250/C260 and C400 cassettes and I assume that’s also the case with wheeled C200 and C234 cassettes.
