I am just completing a deal to trade my toy hauler for a used 3600. I'll be selling my 2551 soon. My wife likes the PC so much we are going to size up. Plus with blood thinners my motorcycle riding days are over.

The new PC addition will be a 2013 so I'll be doing the same sani con refurb..

 Hip issues had me move up to three wheels, and I love it. Now I get to hear all the 'smart Alec' jabs I used to say to all the 'old guys' on trikes   (exactly)  ... and I grin at the ignorant kids, just like my elders did to me.  roflol

Whats a 3600?  Its a PC? Typo?  THANKS!  :)(:

Contributors to this topic have encountered a problem similar to what I am experiencing.  Appears there is a temporary resolution using tape, silicone, and clamps.  All good ideas that work and postpone any emergency until I can get replacement parts.

I need help finding a source for the repair parts.  The manual included with the rig doesn't offer an exploded view.  Nothing labeling or describing parts.  Thetford's online presence is equally unhelpful.  Appears the entire assenbly is the only item offered. Ordering parts is made difficult by the complete absence of appropriate nomenclature.

My pump works.  Nothing wrong with function.  However, the case has a hairline crack.  Opening the valves causes a very small leak.  Looking at the assembly, it appears the midsection containing the discharge hose connection is replaceable.  Getting frustrated by the lack of results in that search.

The clear pipe I got is used on hot tubs. I think it was 2"????

The other tubing you can order off Amazon.
  Valterra SS01 RV SewerSolution Drainage Kit with 10' Hose and Accessories

I see that you live in Alaska. When you are winterizing I would suggest that you disconnect and drain all tubing and the pump casinitself. I would be easy and well worth the effort to avoid any water left in the pump and tubing from causing damage.

  We had an original RV Sani-Con installed aftermarket on our 2005 diesel pusher. Was done by the product originator at his factory in Lexington, Kentucky many years before he sold the business to Thetford. I still have a brand new spare pump I used to carry just in case. Jabsco offered it me as part of a warranty issue. It now occurs to me that pump may now be irrelevant if the whole system has changed. We have a 2019 3100. I will check when we get home next month on the model number. I might have a "silent auction" item for a future event. Or perhaps I can make another friend.

  And, yes, I really like the newer, larger discharge hose. When we were stationary for any significant time with the older Sani-Con system I would use a regular gravity hose to shorten the job.
