Toilet flush leakage

I am writing to let you know about a problem that I had with my caravan last year that may be useful to warn others about.

In February last year I took my 11 month old Bailey Unicorn van for its first service. I was told that there was significant damp arising from “pink coloured” water around the toilet area, probably caused by flush water spilling from the toilet whilst travelling. Although I thought this highly unlikely, at the time I could not explain the cause of the damp, and I had a rather expensive bill for drying and treatment.

It was only whilst caravanning in the summer that I discovered that it is quite easy, when replacing the toilet cassette , to knock off the small spigot that seals the drainage tube from the flush tank, and I nearly had a further leak of flush water into the cassette locker.

I have now added a further clamp to the offending tube, (see photo attached) which hopefully will prevent future problems, but I feel it might be wise to share my experience,  so that others do not have similar, rather costly  problems themselves.
