So from reading the web it appears my Thetford 250 is (probably) the worst designed toilet possible.
Prone to corrosion and electrical issues.
Can anyone recommend either a good man to repair and service my non working item, or, can anyone recommend a better make as a replacement.

All depends on what is wrong with it ... a little more info would help!

We had a 250 in our last moho for almost seven years with no problem and have the same in our new one.(y)

many many years! since I was a kid
the common electrical fault on them is the switch panel fails. the part can be bought for about ÂŁ40 if you shop around and it takes a couple of minutes to fit with no tools required

Great! so the only replies are from people who want to tell me how great theirs are!
Not exactly what I asked for.
But for icantremember the contacts on the small circuit board which detects the level are corroded away, same for the fuse spades. since the van is only 4 years old there is obviously a condensation problem which needs sorting before bothering to replace the corroded parts, hence my asking for recommendations of someone who knows a lot more about this thing than me.

If those are the only problems I would sort it not change it.

Spare parts are easily available in the UK and most of Europe.

Although my level indicators work fine, I only ever rely on a visual check through the flap when open and empty every day however full if possible.

I don't know why you are getting condensation in the cassette locker ... it could be that the cassette has been replaced after emptying in a wet condition .... could be cured by introducing ventilation to the locker.

Perhaps by now you should have realised that these toilets are not a problem for most people.:banghead:

Its not the worst toilet in the world and you have just been unlucky.
We have all been wasting our time trying to help - What a waste of time - Cheerio and good luck!:swear2:
