    What a live safer you are! We are trying to sell our caravan and have people coming to look at it today, I was checking everything was working and discovered the toilet flush wasn't working, I headed off to the internet and there you are with your brilliant video and voila all working now! Thank you so much.

    After checking MotorHome after winter shut down, discovered that THETFORD Toilet would not flush. Went on internet and found the Trudgians Video. What an amazingly lucky find. I looked at the video and followed the suggestions - and Hey Presto - it did the job. Big THANK you. Brilliant piece of advice. Very happy !,

    I’ve just towed my van down to Dorset for the summer, setting up on site first time in over a year 1st problem water pump seized. Obtained a new one from a local caravan agent . Next
    Noticed water leaking from the kitchen tap brought a new one from the local caravan shop excellent service and advice. Then the flush wouldn’t work on the thetford toilet . Your iTube
    Video made my life so easy thanks again can relax now

    What a cracking demo.! Thanks to this, after 2 minutes of head scratching and reverting to tube I have just repaired the exact same problem with my C260 without any fuss. Thetford manual is cr**p. Well done you. If you use a thin blade to carefully remove the flexible top cover from around the edges, it can be done without any damage.

    I have no doubt everyone will say the same. But Sir Dan Trudgian! I owe you one. Away this week and toilet not working but lights flickering after searching high and low for a fuse (still can’t find it) I searched thetford on your channel as you da man and did step by step exactly what you did and it’s worked a treat. Thanks again you da man.

    @willwaters2447 2 года назад

    Dan, this is another superb video and and saved me around £50! We got our caravan out recently for the first time this season and on doing the usual checks, found the toilet pump not working. I checked the connections and all were intact, so as the caravan is 8 years old and we'd never had an issue with the pump before, I assumed it had reached the end of it's life. I check on your channel resulted in finding this video. I was able to follow easily and sure enough, I was able to fix the problem with no expense. Thanks for help once again and keep up the good work. You really make a difference.

  • @masonparadis4237
    @masonparadis4237 Год назад

    Dan, I watched and implemented your strategy and in under ten minutes flush heaven was restored. The year of manufacture of my pump was 2018 so plenty of time to build up gunk. We had the caravan delivered Wednesday, so this was clearly not checked..BIG dealer too. When the pump operated they'd put blue in the flush tank.
    Thanks again for your clear video. 🎉
    Stay healthy!

    @simonfarrar4651 4 месяца назад

    Great video Dan and very helpful. Just had the same situation happen in our Bailey. Flush packed up, followed your instructions and found the impeller stuck solid. After some gentle persuasion with a screwdriver and some needle nose pincers, the pump whirred into life (and yes, I gave it a rev as well).
    Many thanks for the advice and saved me potentially a trip to the dealer. As a precautionary measure, I’ve drained the tank of pink fluid and just using water from now on.

  • @rolandehall
    @rolandehall 4 года назад

    Excellent video, showed me where the pump is hidden and how to access same. My pump was stuck but to add to the problem my caravan had been feeling unloved as we had not been able to take it out this year because of 'social distancing issues in Ireland. The plug and circuit board interface was corroded - - - - - a needle file clean up of the contacts restored power then I discovered that the pump would not spin. I cleaned off the black gang, rotated the impeller by hand (it was stiff), replaced the 10-amp supply fuse that bust when I accidently shorted the power and now all is well, I pumped 8 litres of water into the toilet to give the system a workout. All is well now, thank you for posting a very helpful video.

    Hi Dan , my toilet broke too this week, whilst away in France 🇫🇷. So watched your video and tried it . It worked an absolute treat 👌. So just thought I'd write this message of thanks , I really appreciate the help 😊. I also replaced the tow hitch pads using you're video too . Brilliant help and very well presented and explained. Hope you and you're family are keeping well. Many thanks again 🙏 ☺️ 😊 👍👍👌👌👏👏

  • @Andrew-tonup
    @Andrew-tonup 2 года назад

    According to our caravan manual we have a C250 fitted..... No it is a C260 and had the same problem with the pump and as others have pointed out the Thetford manual is not very good (me being polite). However, looking at this video I took the plunge and removed the sticky label and low and behold, I found the pump exactly as your video shows............ Did exactly as you did and refitted it all and even the sticky label has gone back as it should. Well done, for this very informative and precise instructions on how to free off a siezed flush pump. It seems to flush a lot better as well.

  • @jayfoulkes7110
    @jayfoulkes7110 4 года назад +2

    I have watched a few of your videos and have found them to be very helpful thanks. In particular this one relating to the Impeller in the cistern being jammed. I was looking for a blown fuse, also didn’t know how to access the pump so I owe you big time, keep up the great videos.

    @wheatengroom 2 года назад

    Excellent video, saved a lot of head scratching. With your advice I was able to identify and mend my blocked up pump in about five minutes.
    With all the comments on this problem it might be a good idea for Thetford to design an 'anti-clog' water pump. Here's hoping!!
    A big thumbs up from me.

  • @andyburke6462
    @andyburke6462 2 года назад

    Thanks, all I needed, practical experience and help, marvellous. I hunted for the non-existent fuse, I put a meter on every wire in sight, I bought a new pcb, I followed every other bit of advice I could find on t’interweb, I wasted a whole weekend trying to get the C206 flushing and then along came the Trudgians - sorted. Next time I’ll check everything works before we go off on the first outing of the year. Thanks.

  • @DK-ff9hp
    @DK-ff9hp 2 года назад

    Brilliant advice which helped me get mine fixed after arriving on a site. I did have a slight disaster though. When I pulled the pump out I didn't notice that the hose to the bowl came off in the tank. This meant the bowl filled with flush fluid which I didn't notice as the lid was down. Of course, then I pulled the soil tank out. The resulting sunami was quite spectacular!
    Hopefully my warning will help others avoid this.

It was exactly like yours - jammed up by something but now free and pumping happily. Bring on the holidays 😊

  • @kenmcnamara8278
    @kenmcnamara8278 5 лет назад

    Hi Dan,
    Thanks a lot for a quick and easy solution to the problem with the waterpump. To prevent the buildup of calcium in your pump you can fill the watertank with a diluted solution of a vinegar/ water mix. Leave it overnight in the tank and it will dissolve any scaling within the pump. Alternately you can submerge just the pump into a glas or bowl with the vinegar/water solution overnight. Works just die same.

  • @melb5996
    @melb5996 2 года назад

    Brilliant info for accessing the pump ( I was looking all over for a way in 😁 ) miine turned out to be a different problem, I noticed the contacts on the circuit board were corroded and needed cleaning. When I pushed the connectors back on it worked perfectly again. Thanks so much.

  • @CliveJenkins-up4vn

    First trip this season and the toilet wouldn't flush. Drained flush water before the winter and the rinse liquid left behind crystallised and jammed the impeller. After seeing your video I had the thing working in about 15 minutes. Maybe next time I won’t completely drain the tank so it keeps it wet, maybe? Thanks very much for the video. I appreciate your experience, cheers.

    Guess the issues may have been the tank was dry for 3 months causing the dry shaft to stick within the pump casing.
    Will order a new pump as a spare for the future.
    Thanks.
