I am trying to remove the toilet in my caravan, as there is a water ingress some where around the toilet area.. I have removed all visible screws, but it still will not budge. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
The removal of my C200CW was quite difficult. The 4 screws holding it to the floor (accessible from inside the locker where the cassette is normally located), were rusty. It took me 6 hours of struggle to finally get them out. Had to use a pair of mole grips to turn the back pair fractions of a turn at a time. Very frustrating. Job would have been much easier if Swift had used s/steel screws in this application. Or, better still s/steel hex bolts. Hippytitimus's comment was invaluable, since I was misled into thinking my toilet unit was held on a bracket. It was not. It was held in place by the filler tube housing into which the flush water is poured. So a simple job made arduous by poor fittings and bad information.

The Thetford c200CW is held in by 4 screws located in the locker base. Remove the cassette and look on the bottom of the locker for the 4 screws, 2 in each of the runners in squared off sections 2 at the front and 2 at the back that are hard to see. Remove these and you will also need to remove the filler tube housing, held in with 4 screws and is also sealed with mastic to the body so care is needed when prising it away because the plastic housing may be a bit brittle. Lift the toilet clear of the back wall and take it out. On some models the tanks are held to the back wall by means of a bracket that the tank is slotted on to, so lifting the toilet straight up will lift it clear just in case yours is one of that type. That's it, I thought it was going to be a hard job, it isn't, 8 screws and its out.

Nobby - thank you for your entry, however I have already been down that route, and there is nothing (amazingly) about installation or removal of the toilet. It surprised me, as this is such an obvious requirement.
Thanks again
Cheers
