Thetford Loo, Converting from Electric to Manual?

I've inherited my parents' caravan and the Thetford C200 electric flush toilet needs a new pump (seized) and a new switch (corroded) which will cost about £60, whereas a new manual pump costs about £30, so would it be a simple swap? I'm not that bothered about having an electric flush, preferring something simpler and less fault-prone!

Try Leisureshopdirect manual pump about £25 but pump and switch probably cheaper than your quote? I did the swop the other way, manual to electric. Grandchildren used to fill the bowl with a manual pump. Have you tried freeing the pump, might just be "furred" up?

 

Thetford have a good guide on YouTube for what you'll be needing to do. The bexels for electric and manual are identical. Just non-setting mastic used to keep them in place.

To err is human, to really foul things up requires a computer!
