I have a Thetford Porta Potti in my campervan and I used it for the first time this year whilst at the recent NEC show.

I now find that the white leaver at the back, used to separate the two halves, is locked solid.

Any ideas how I can get the two halves apart?

There might be a bit of pressure build up. Please video yourself opening it so we can see how you get on::bigsmile:

I know this is going to disappoint people, but I suspect the stuck mechanism only locks the flush tank/seat to the waste tank underneath, like my 335. The blade is controlled by a different handle and is probably still working. So no real opportunity for a comedy moment :Smile:
