The RV toilet in your Airstream is a design that has been used for many years. In
normal use, when you are hooked up to city water, both pedals are depressed
together. This dumps the sewage and flushes fresh water down the side of
the bowl. Water will continue to run into the bowl for a short time after the
pedals are released. Follow manufacturers instruction on operating, cleaning,
and sanitizing toilet.
nOTiCE: When you dump the bowl of the toilet make sure all paper and
solids have cleared the slide mechanism before you allow it to close.
Trouble Shooting
1. Leaks:
a) Back of toilet: check water supply line connection at water valve.
Secure or tighten as necessary. If leak persists from water valve,
replace.
b) Vacuum breaker leaks while flushing: replace Vacuum Breaker or
water module, depending on model.
c) Between closet flange and toilet: check flange nuts for tightness.
If leak continues, remove toilet and check flange height. Use
Thetford spacers to adjust, if necessary, to 7/1 6” above floor.
Replace flange seal.
2) Toilet won’t hold water:
a) Check for and remove any debris from blade/ball seal track.
b) Check blade/ball seal compression with mechanism.
If blade/ball seal is worn, replace.
3) Harder than normal pedal or hand lever operation: Apply light film of Thetford
Toilet Seal Lubricant & Conditioner or silicone spray to blade/ball. (Note: To
avoid damage do not use spray lubricants other than silicone.)
4) Poor flush: Pedals or hand levers must be held fully open during flush. A
good flush should be obtained within 2 to 3 seconds. If problem persists, re-
move the water supply line and check flow rate. The flow rate should be at least
ten quarts (9.5 liters) per minute.
