Does anyone have a manual in PDF they could share?

Some of the metal bits at the flushing pedals are rusting. A manual would help me to take the thing apart and see if these components are servicable can be refinished.

Alternateively, what modern toilets would be a straight swap with the old Thetford?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry no manual info available.
I just switched mine out for the same reasons - rusty mechanism and the valve was leaking.
I replaced with a low profile Sealand china. Easy change out once I got the old one off. Cutting an access hole in the plastic toilet bowl made removal of one of the hold-down nuts easy, it was going to be tossed anyway.

Thanks, Dave. I'll have to look into the Sealand option. Did you buy locally, or are there better deals to be had online?

Much cheaper online. I'll try to find the link and come back with it.

I can't find the company I bought my Sealand from, but this one is even a little bit cheaper than what mine cost, shipping costs may be different. I used this company for a water heater purchase and they were very prompt. Your experience may differ...
For reference, I believe mine was a series 500.
