To help you get the most out of your Thetford equipment, we’ve put together a list of the Top 10 Thetford Products & Spares every caravan owner should have. Whether you're looking to upgrade, replace a part, or ensure smooth operation on your next trip, these essentials will keep everything fresh, functional, and road-ready!
1️⃣ Spare Thetford Cassette Tank:
A second cassette tank is a game-changer for extended trips, giving you extra capacity when a dump point isn’t nearby. Perfect for off-grid campers who want more freedom, an additional waste-holding tank allows you to travel further without worrying about disposal points. It’s an essential spare part for those who enjoy remote camping or longer adventures without access to frequent emptying stations.
2️⃣ Seal Lubricant:
Toilet seals are essential for preventing leaks and odours, but over time, they can dry out, crack, or become stiff. Thetford Seal Lubricant is specifically designed to keep seals flexible and in top shape, extending the life of your cassette toilet. Unlike household oils, this lubricant won’t cause rubber parts to swell or degrade, making it the best choice for maintaining a smooth flush and airtight seal. Also great for so many other uses in & around the van!
3️⃣ Lipseal for Cassette Toilet:
If your toilet isn’t sealing properly or has started to leak, a fresh lipseal is an easy fix. The lipseal ensures that your cassette system remains watertight and prevents odours from escaping into your caravan. Over time, wear and tear can cause the seal to lose effectiveness, but replacing it is simple and ensures optimal performance of your Thetford toilet. We also sell lipseals for Porta Potti's.
4️⃣ Aqua Kem Sachets:
Thetford Aqua Kem Sachets are a must-have for anyone using a cassette toilet or portable toilet. These pre-measured sachets break down waste efficiently, control odours, and make emptying your waste tank a breeze. No spills, no mess: just toss one in and go! Available in the original Aqua Kem Blue for maximum waste breakdown and the environmentally friendly Aqua Kem Green, which is biodegradable and ideal for eco-conscious campers.
5️⃣ Holding Tank Mechanism:
The holding tank mechanism is the heart of your Thetford cassette toilet, ensuring a seamless flush and proper waste containment. If your flushing system isn’t working properly or you notice leaks, replacing the holding tank mechanism can restore smooth operation and prevent bigger issues down the line. Keeping a spare on hand ensures that minor malfunctions don’t turn into major inconveniences.
6️⃣ Cooking Knobs:
Lost or damaged a knob on your Thetford stove? It happens more often than you’d think! These easy-to-replace parts keep your kitchen fully functional and looking great—because no one wants a half-working cooktop while on holiday. Ensuring you have spare knobs on hand means you won’t be left without access to your essential cooking appliances when you need them most.

7️⃣ Aqua Soft Toilet Paper:
Standard household toilet paper can cause clogs and blockages in cassette toilets, making emptying difficult and messy. Thetford Aqua Soft toilet paper is designed to dissolve quickly, preventing build-up in your waste tank and ensuring hassle-free disposal. It’s gentle yet effective, making it the only toilet paper you should be using in your Thetford toilet.
8️⃣ Hinge Pin for Service Door:
A small but essential part! If your service door isn’t closing properly, a worn or broken hinge pin might be the culprit. Replacing the hinge pin ensures a secure fit, keeping your storage compartments protected from dust, dirt, and water. It’s a simple fix that prevents further damage to your service door, keeping your caravan in top shape.
9️⃣ Water Fill Extension:
Struggling to reach your caravan’s water inlet? A water fill extension makes refilling your water tank much easier, especially when using jerry cans or external water sources. Whether you’re at a campsite or filling up on the road, this practical accessory ensures a hassle-free and spill-free experience. A great addition to your caravan toolkit!
🔟 Duo Tank Cleaner:
This Duo Tank Cleaner has been specially developed to remove even the most stubborn calcium deposits and severe scaling with the utmost of ease. The new concentrated formula is designed for use on both Waste Cassettes and grey water tanks.
