As some of you may know, I have been struggling to get my Thetford C2 toilet to work... now it is!!! Yippee! But I don't know what chemicals to put in.. I do know that: A. You fill the clean water tank with fresh tap water and some 'stuff' B. You put a couple of litres of water in the waste...

All fixed!

Brilliant, thanks!!!

Right, taken out pump and cleaned it and freed it with wd40... that is now working on a seperate 12 volt feed to test... I have also checked the thetford C2 electrics and with a bit of tweaking they are all working up to a plug... which is at the end of a wire... with no apparent socket? Has...

Its a monza 400d 1994 with a thetford c2 cassette toilet. It should work even with a battery I think, cos all the other 12 volt stuff does.

Right, gone out with my torch... the battery is fried I think yes, BUT there is a 12 volt adapter that seems to allow for 12 volt things to work, like the water pump for the sink, but not the toilet. It def is electric, it is a Thetford C2 model, and the fuse seems okay. So, it IS 12 volts then?

Hi, my new caravan is an Abi Monza 400d... with 240 on the lights work, fridge, all pumps (except toilet) and I'm happy. BUT with only the battery nothing seems to work... the battery is 'ok'.. showing 11 volts. Can anybody tell me what this caravan is supposed to have working with just a...

Hi, we have purchased a 1994 Abi monza 400d caravan with a cassette toilet... which doesn't seem to work... and so I have a few questions please... Is it supposed to work just by pushing down the 'knob' next to the toilet? Is it 12 volts or 240? There seems to be a white thick wire coming from...

Thanks - does it matter which gas I use when it comes to my appliances, like my cascade 2 water heater... work on either do they?

As some of you have read, I have recently purchased a cheap old caravan which seems generally ok. The chap promised me all the gas applices worked, but we didn't have a bottle to check, but for 2 hundred quid I thought I'd risk it!!! Anyway, on opening the gas locker there appears to be a black...

Oh, and another question related to this post: if I fit a standard trickle charger to the battery, would I have to remove the 12 volt caravan wiring conections whilst it was charging? Cos' otherwise the 12 volt system would be getting 24 volts wouldn't it? Or am I wrong? Would something like...

Ha ha - yes spaghetti! Oh God I've bought another shed...

Thanks for that - I might givem them a try. However, I think I'll buy a leisure battery first and just see, when attached, what works and doesn't :0)

An invertor... does that mean it simply changes the 240 to 12 volts? It wouldn't charge the battery then would it? So only 12 volts when plugged in?

Well I'm really excited - I picked up my new caravan... my first caravan... today. An old... maybe early 80s Swift Corniche 12/2. I towed it home 120 miles and it went and braked really well!! It only cost me 1 couple of hundred quid, so even if it did one holiday I'm quid in! There are a...
