Patrick Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 The blade in my 2002 Dynasty Baroness toilet refuses to open unless I first force the manual open/close valve 1 click open after every flush. Something isn’t working right and I’d like to get a drawing of the workings or order a replacement but I don’t know if this is a Thetford or Dometic unit and have no model number. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbouv22 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Hi Patrick, I ran into a similar problem in January, the valve on my Sealand Opus 3110 (if I remember correctly) was stuck in the open position. Turns out the board in the back of the toilet was bad. There is a guy named Paul Whittle that responded to my plea on iRV2, he actually made the boards, same one as in his Signature. Check him out. donbouv 2005 HR Navigator 43 PBQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mschfmkrs1 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Paul Whittle came to our rescue and saved us and our failed Sealand electric 3010 toilet while we were boondocking out in the AZ desert. He is an amazing gentleman willing to go the extra mile to help fellow RV’ers. He is also on Monacoers.

vito.a Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Our toilet is also a Sealand Magnum Opus with electric flush. Paul's new board rescued it! Dometic purchased Sealand and then stopped supporting their products. Paul spent countless hours reverse engineering the control board. I'll tell him you need help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr4Film Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Everyone is assuming that the electric toilet in your coach is a Sealand Magnum Opus one versus the Thetford Aria II (POS). When making a post for help more information is better especially brand and model than too little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhittle Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 @Patrick can you post a picture of your toilet so we can determine the model? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck B 2004 Windsor Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Do yourself a favor and install a gravity flush toilet with a spray washer wand. You can get them at Camping World. https://www.campingworld.com/inside-rv/bath/bathroom-fixtures/rv-toilets Chuck B 2004 Windsor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many RV'ers put Blue Dawn in their black tank anyway using the GEO Method. Whenever I do that, I just leave a little extra Blue Dawn to sit on top of the blade until the next flush. This seems to keep it lubricated also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
