Thetford toilet seat replacement

[Muddy1]

HI everyone, I have a fresh up kit. The seat is a bit of a challenge. Looked on YouTube but its a different type of attachment. Any hints tips or recommendations welcome.

Give us a clue as to which Thetford loo you have might help.

The seat can easily be removed but you have to bend the plastic more than you would expect .

It should just lift straight out without too much effort and the new one just pushers in. Changed ours a couple of weeks ago.

Its a C200 series, I guess over the years the original plastic has lost its flexibility. I cant move the thing. Its annoying as it only looks like it needs a couple of mm sideways but I just can't manage it. Didn't like to use a lever incase I snapped the lugs.

Warm it gently with a fan heater then try.

I have the same C200 . I will try and take some pictures and see if I can find the best way to remove it

That would be great, many thanks.

Here you go . Do it like this . Pull the seat the the right and then upwards and it will soon come off

We renewed ours in Feb, just after we got our elderly van and aeons before using it (courtesy of Covid) Expected it to be difficult. Searched for clips n screws thinking it would be like in house. haha. In long run it was so easy it was laughable how long we'd spent trying to do it. Pretty sure it just lifted off. No tools required. Have expected it to fall off ever since, but it hasn't. Personally I need an" Idiots Guide"for everything to do with having a motorhome.

Oh bumblebluck, just brought socket set, electric multi tool, angle grinder and a set of clamps to remove our 200 seat. The long haired General will be pleased!!!

Aha, pictures paint many words. Thanks very much for taking the trouble. The old one put up a fight but only because the plastic had hardened over the years. I was concerned incase I cracked the plastic bowl. The new one went into place easily
