How to tell which one you have

Thetford publishes a serial number location sheet showing where the sticker sits on each model. Find the sticker and read the model name off it, because Style II and Style Plus look similar but take different seals.

Is this part still current?

Yes. 42141 is listed in Thetford Parts List, Aqua-Magic Style II, Rev D (11/4/2025), which is the current parts documentation we hold for this model.

Also worth having before you start

  • Disposable nitrile gloves

    General guidance for any waste-contact job, not specific to one manufacturer: wear protective gloves and eye protection when you touch anything that has been in contact with human waste, and disinfect your tools and work surface afterwards. If you do not already have a box in the camper, get one before you start.

  • Thetford seal lube and conditioner

    A new seal lasts longer if it is kept conditioned. Thetford makes this for its own toilets, so it is the maintenance product matched to the part you are fitting.

These are supplies, not replacement parts. We have not matched them to your model, because they do not need to fit anything.

Check this before you order

  • Confirm your toilet is a Style II or a Residence, not a Style Plus.
  • If it is a Style Plus, you need 34120 instead.
  • Ignore listing titles that claim one seal fits both. Thetford lists them separately.

Before you start the job

Thetford’s own instructions say to wear protective gloves and eyewear when touching material that has been in contact with human waste, and to disinfect tools and the work surface afterwards.
