Has anyone on here ever had a TM Toilet that would not dump? I have a 2007
2720.

Did you open the dump handel at the bottom of the toliet just above the bathroom floor? Both the one inside and one outside need to be open to dump.

Yes both of them were open. I just spoke with the people @ Therford and it's there opinion that I may have a clog........They suggested it may resolve itself,but if not I may have to take the top off and stir stuff around to get it to drain............I am hopeing that it will resolve itself.

Buy one of these before you use your TM again. You can see whether waste is flowing, and you can hook up a backrinse hose to flush and unclog. Be sure to buy one with the anti-siphon valve to prevent waste entering the rinse water hose.

If you have a clog, you can likely unclog it by opening the valve attached to the toilet, making sure the valve OUTSIDE is CLOSED, and then drive around for a few miles. The bumpier the road the better. Extra points for potholes. That should free up any blockage.

Human waste and toilet paper should not be able to form such a "Clog" unless the toilet were allowed to sit long enough for this material to dry out and harden.

It sounds to me like someone may have put a paper towel, Tampax, Kleenex or something else that should never be put in any toilet. Tampax and paper towels are the worst. They don't break down like toilet paper does. If it's any feminine hygiene products, you will have to take the top off the toilet and fish it out. Those things swell to the size of a tennis ball when it it soaked in water.

Good luck with it.

Thanks.....that's a good idea

Driving around should knock almost anything loose. Even if everything dries out water and time will solve a bunch of ills.

Still you need to educate people that the toilet is not a flushable garbage can. It is made for toilet paper and human waste only.

As Wayne said, that is a whopper of a clog! Assuming there is still some capacity left in the toilet, I would stick a hose nozzle, set to produce a high-pressure jet, way down into the hole to try to break up the clog.

There is also a cleaning method known as the Geo or Bruni method, involving water softener and detergent. Easy to try.

Since you are going to buy one of the gizmos suggested by MisterP, why not buy it now and see if you can break up the clog. When you attach the hose and open all valves, it fills the tank from below (assuming you have some capacity left in your Tetford). This may work unless something like a basketball is in there...
