Re: Best Manual Head?

Phil, Wilcox-Crittenden is long out of business. The toilets were bought and produced by Thetford for a while. I think parts can still be found for some of the Wilcox toilets. The Skipper was their top of the line head.

Re: Best Manual Head?

Just changed all the seals on our 25 yo Groco K. Don't think the seals had been changed before. The process gave me a real appreciation for fine engineering of the unit.
