johnmck Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hi folks. We have a Thetford 403L ( I think) on the boat, and forsee the need for a spare cassette this coming season. We already have one, but as we are braving the barren north and Liverpool, think another may be wise. I have tried to source online, but prices when delivery is included are on a par with Midland chandlers, £127.00. Ouch.... Any one know of a cheaper source, or when Midlands are having their next "Freaky Friday". ( they will not tell me, tried that!) John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if thy do one for your model but it's often cheaper to get a 'refresh kit' which includes a new cassette and some other bits, strangely they often come in cheaper than buying a cassette on it's own...

Thank's Martin, shall take a look at that option, never thought of that. Why is a plastic box so bloody expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thank's Martin, shall take a look at that option, never thought of that. Why is a plastic box so bloody expensive? I've just had a scout about but can't see one for your model though, but good luck. These guys http://www.waudbys.co.uk/ may be worth giving a ring. I got my spare C250 cassette from them at a good lump cheaper than any where else. They don't list one on their web site but say to ring them as they may still have what you want.

wirren Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 This company gave me a good service ... Around £80 with a spare seat & some chemicals, I only bought it as it was a lot easier than sorting spare seals etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmck Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) This company gave me a good service ... Around £80 with a spare seat & some chemicals, I only bought it as it was a lot easier than sorting spare seals etc Funnily enough, just been viewing this company. Site is poor in that it is non specific in regard to model, but worth contacting. Thank you. Edit- E mailed david.waterman6@btinternet.com at above company.

johnmck Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks for the Tip Martin. Searched refresh kit and found this http://www.thecaravanshop.co.uk/toilets-chemicals/thetford-cassette-fresh-up-kits/thetford-cassette-for-c400-toilets/prod_834.html Will contact them to ensure this is the correct part prior to purchase.

Emerald Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 For anyone ese looking for Thetford cassettes I have just bought a C200 refresh kit from Chandleryworld dot com they were fast efficient, postage was free and cheaper than anywhere else. Most impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnmck Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Think I will end up purchasing the Refresh Kit from here. http://www.outdoorworld.co.uk/thetford-c200-fresh-up-kit-5242 A LOT cheaper than from any chandlers, and with a free spare bog seat! Might have to take up "gurning" untill it's needed! Cheers. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Norman Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Not an immediate solution but keep an eye on both Lidl and Aldi's offers. At least a couple of times a year they have a portapotti on offer at a very good price. Actually branded as "Mobil" but is of Thetford origin. Granted, the cassette is small but all the rest is a good source of spares. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Norman Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) As predicted, Lidl are offering the bog once again on May 7th! Whilst these may have a small waste capacity at 21 litres, they are made by Thetford and can be a good source for spares. They even come with the dollop! The Bogs Trevor Edit to add that they also have a windup LED lantern and a solar powered shower! Edited April 30, 2012 by Mr Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
