Default toilet fuses

Greetings everyone!!
I've been lurking for a few weeks, so this is my first post on this board. My wife and I ordered a new Trailmanor 2720 to be delayed delivered the first of March. We are moving up from a popup. Thanks for all the great information and advise I have gotten from this board. It really helped us to make up our mind about the Trailmanor.
Somewhere I remember comments about the fuse on the toilet blowing. What type of fuse is it and how hard is it to change?

God Bless
Phil

It is an in line fuse. It involves removing the top cap, that holds the switch to flush the toilet, with two screws, and replacing the fuse. It is no big deal to replace it.Congratulations on becoming a TrailManor owner. When you acquire your new TM, please consider joining the TrailManor TrailBlazers.

Thanks for the reply and invitation to join the Trailblazers. I sent a check to join last week. I'm anxiously waiting to see what the group is all about.
Doesn't sound like the fuse is a big deal. Just want to make sure I have a spare on hand.

God Bless
Phil

??? hi, I too am interested in joining the Trail Blazers club.. Their web site is outdated. Can I still use their form to join? Is that how you did it? I have met several new friends through our journeys and I know it will be really nice to get into this club and see the same familiar faces from time to time. TM's are really nice to travel in, we've had ours since last Feb. and we have put about 5000 miles on it so far. We hope to add that much and more this coming year. Our first trip this spring will probably be to Oregon. Hope to see some of you campers out there along the way.. thanks for any info you can give to me....Bett

Attending TrailBlazer rallies is where you can receive the best information on maintaining and personalizing your TM. We help each other. The newsletter is now in the mail, so rallies should be posted on the TrailBlazer website very soon. One other benefit of being a TrailBlazer. When a member order parts from the factory, they are entitled to a 10% discount.

Phil,
I have a 2001 2619 and blew the toilet fuse a couple of times; unnerving in the middle of the night.
The original fuse was a 5 Amp, 250 V, AGC Quick blow glass fuse similar to what used to be used in automobiles. I replaced it with a 10 Amp (everything else the same) and had no further problems. It was what Radio Shack had available.
It probably should be a Slo-blo fuse to allow the pump motor to come up to speed before it senses the current draw but my fix seems to be working.
Hope this helps.
Dick

Thanks everyone for the input. Now when we go camping I will have replacement fuses ready so we can still "go".

I also experienced several blown fuses with the Thetford toilet on our 1999 3124King.  I talked with the Thetford factory, very nice people, and they recommended going to a slightly higher amp fuse.  I think I went from 5 to 8 and that seems to have solved the problem.  Always keep some extra fuses on hand.  Hope you enjoy your TM as much as we have enjoyed ours.
