We want to replace our cassette we have found some on eBay but they have wheels and ours don't it says it's a direct replacement but was wondering if any one has done this and they do fit thanks
 
I replaced my Thetford on the last van which wasn't a c200 but the long version and the new one came with wheels and a trolly handle. Otherwise exactly the same. It was a good addition as ours was massive and very heavy to carry full. You lose a little bit of capacity but not enough to make much difference.
 
What vent have you got fitted to your original cassette?

If its got the standard vent like the image below then it will fit....

If you have an angled vent like the image below you will need to buy one of those as well in addition to the fresh up kit....

We got a "Fresh Up Kit" from Jacksons Leisure HERE. Can't recommend them highly enough. The new cassettes come with wheels but still fit. There's a Pdf and video on the page for info.
If you need the vent too, the info on that is HERE.
 
Just checked and as we have a sog unit that is attached to where the vent was so just a case of taking off the vent and reattaching the sog unit
 
The only things that seem to wear out are the seals, which are cheap and easy to fit. Why buy a replacement one?

Much as a cassette with wheels and a handle would be nice, none of our three* cassettes has them and we get by.

*Having three cassettes means the toilet lasts as long as the water tank.
 
I bought a 'fresh up' kit for our van. This came with a new cassette and a new seat/lid. Ours is a C2, but I suspect the same applies to C200. The new cassette has wheels and an extending handle, but is fully compatible with the original toilet.
That said, be aware that some spares are not interchangeable between the new and old cassette. For example, I needed a new lip seal for the new cassette and it's not the same part as is fitted to the original cassette!

By getting a freshen up kit he is both getting a new cassette AND a spare one, similar to your 2 spare ones. Did someone ask you why you are buying a new one when you have a serviceable one already?
I bought a freshen up kit as TBH it is nice to have a loo that no one else has used before but it meant I also gained a spare cassette (the original) should I need it. Never have done but it lives in my small underfloor basement at the back just in case.

In my case, I wanted a second cassette because some relatives we visit each year have a septic tank and they're not OK with us emptying our cassette down their toilet -- they think there's a risk of that 'poisoning' the septic tank (it happened to some of their neighbours, and cost a fair few bob to have the tank sucked out). Our typical visit is too long for one cassette and it costs the same in C&CC 'pump & dump' fees to empty two cassettes as it does for one. The spare (i.e. original) cassette lives in an underslung locker that's such a good fit that Autotrail might have designed it with that purpose in mind! Acquiring a new seat was a bonus!

We don't put chemicals into our toiletvapart from a very little laundry liquid. That won't harm a septic tank, though even 'green' toilet fluids will.
 
He specifically used the word 'replace'. I work on the assumption that people who ask questions tell the truth.

I bought mine to 'replace' the original. doesn't mean I have to throw the original one away to avoid the wrath of the grammer nazies

We will be replacing the original cassette but I didn't say I was throwing it away it will be kept as a spare you shouldn't jump to assumptions

TBH, a little laundry liquid (allegedly) is all the person who (allegedly) 'poisoned' the septic tank I mentioned upthread. Whatever, my relative isn't happy for me to empty a cassette down their toilet and I'm not about to force the issue. Much easier to buy double the endurance!

The only thing you need to consider is te size of your cassette. When you get the model with wheels and handle, the capacity of the tank is reduced.Thats not really important with the larger cassettes but with the smaller cassettes it makes quite a difference in capacity.
