Our new Coachman VIP has the new dometic toilet fitted, Has anyone else struggled to remove the waste tank from the housing either empty or full?

And has anyone else had a problem with the waste tank breaking where the wheels are fixed to the waste tank?

The tank is made from brittle plastic and ours burst the very first time I was emptying it once the weight was put on to the wheels.

No where near as robust as the Thetford waste tanks.

thanks in advance 

Paul

Paul, I have published the photos on here in case anyone else is interested, but I will also forward larger versions to your email address.  I think the Thetford model number is C263 - CS - it's the one without an integral flush tank, although as you can see from the pic, it has a dummy one, so looks almost identical to the Dometic in that respect. The base of the Dometic is a slightly different shape as compared to the Thetford, so the fitted carpet has a very slight gap - but again, no one would notice unless it was pointed out.

Thank goodness Coachman have changed back to Thetford Loo on the 2020 models. The Dometic Loo on my 2018 was, as you can all guess

RUBBISH

You can only edit for a few minutes after posting.

Your best bet is to email Rowena, the Community Manager, and ask her to remove the email address. A mod could also edit it out if they chance to read these posts.

PS. I've reported your earlier post in the hope that may attract attention and result in an edit.

Well everyone on this post, today (24 September) we’ve collected our van from ALV Tebay, who this week have changed our dometic toilet for a thetford, absolutely delighted with this now, the difference in quality and robustness is remarkable, we now have a caravan that we can enjoy and not worry about having to use and empty the toilet.   Not a lot to ask from life laughing 

Next step is dialogue with Coachman! As to why this was necessary and why they haven’t recalled the vans on a quality issue.

Just reading this post and replies with interest.   The seal has gone on our Dometic loo and there is apparently no replacement part - you have to purchase the whole slider!!

Does anyone know if the Dometic seals are universal?  You can certainly buy them online but not for the model in our Coachman VIP 2018 which is a Saneo BW.

Many thanks in advance.

Why oh why did Coachman go down the Dometic route??

After experiencing far too many problems with the Dometic WC in our motorhome I decided t take it out and replace it with a Thetford one. Best thing I ever did and it was an easy swap. Don’t let the Dometic loo spoil the experience of your caravan.

I swapped the Dometic toilet in our Lunar for a Thetford 263 CS. It was straight forward to do. It picks up the flush water from the aqua roll, very pleased.
