I've had a small leak behind the toilet since I bought the coach. Not enough to really bother me but. . . So I finally pulled the toilet today and jury-rigged some brass fittings to test it with a garden hose and sure enough, it's leaking about two drops a minute from the ball valve at the bottom.
Anyone know where to find replacement parts? This is the original Thetford Aqua Magic GH. According to the manual the part number for the ball valve is #08215. I find Thetford ball valves but they are listed as for Aqua Magic III" or later, have different part numbers and when a model year is stated it usually says "since 1990" or later. When I worked on the toilet on my 75 Airstream I could only find "mechanism assemblies" (the bottom) and "vacuum breaker assemblies" (the top). Pricy but at least I knew they were for the right model. I'd rather just replace the ball valve and maybe some tubing since I'd like to replace the whole toilet down the road. Will the Aqua Magic III valve fit the GH?
Thanks
