Minor problems on your coach become major when I have the same problem.
We have a Thetford China Bowl, Tall Boy. Local RV shop finds nothing for the seal at the semi ball, holding water in the bowl. There is no model number on this thing anywhere, just says Thetford on back of bowl.
Anyone got anything that sounds like this? 4 nuts hold the bowl onto the plastic stand where the single foot pedal is.
I have sent Thetford an email with no response. Looks like I may need to call them on the telephone.
Thanks,
Dan

Maybe I answered my own question. Looks like the 'Style Plus' on their website. Will take my laptop to rv place with picture.
Thanks,
Dan

I have Thetford china type, but has 2 pedals. I'm sure you already ran this by the Jims. Hope they call you back. Wonder if ball seal is same.

Send me a picture, Howard, when you have time, if it has a single pedal and is a China Bowl.
Now, I stick my internet into my pocket, grab my laptop, and off I go. Owner wants to know if he can help me. Yes, here is what I want. Your parts guy can't seem to find it. Owner is smiling and tells the parts guy to hire me, he likes the way I work. Told them with the life I have there is no way that time can be squeezed in to work at your parts counter. Hey, I got 16 grandkids, a GMC, part time job already, and a wife who keeps me hopping. He smiled. I gave the parts guy the number. Said it be here Friday. As I was walking out the door I look and there is my toilet in an unopened box. They would not open it to verify my seal. No wonder we tend to order on line. Want to give local guys my buisness but this is rediculous.
Hope it matches my seal when it arrives Friday. Very Happy
Dan

Dan,
I sent you a copy of the Thetford Owners Manual which has a parts breakdown in it.
See if that helps narrow down the part you need.

Thanks Rick, I got it and sent you a couple of notes back. There is no place like the GMC group's gathering place when one needs assistance.

Dan, I think I have the same unit. Mine sealed the water well for several years.  For the last few, it slowly empties.  I would like to fix it if a new seal will do the job.  Let me know if the seal works for you.  I may tackle that task when I can get a seal and a couple of hours.
