They don't make parts for them anymore, and they haven't for many years. They are a really low toilet. I sent some old parts to ticki2, and I think he found some OEM old stock parts for his. I lowered my fiberglass piece under the toilet and put a modern Thetford toilet that is higher to end up with the same overall height. Pictures are in this thread somewhere.

Page 71 & 83 has the stack of wood over the tank to raise the height of the toilet since it is such a low profile. The amount of wood stack that I took out make up for the weight difference in the stainless steel tank over the plastic one.
Page 72 has the new black water tank.
Page 87 & 88 has lower fiberglass installed to allow for the higher profile (low profile by today's standards) modern toilet.

Michael, go to this site for pics of an interesting way to treat the curved inside ends of an Airstream-shaped interior.

By the way, note that the fan-shaped panels are not symmetrical...

It depends what it needs , some parts are still available . The seal kit for the blade is ,however , the 3" round gasket is too thick so you have to reuse the old one , if not the blade will bind . The water valve is not available but I did repair one and it's holding . I also found one NOS sitting on the shelf , blind luck . I posted a picture with the part number earlier in this thread . If you go the route of rebuilding I can give you more detailed info once it's out .
69 avion , I remember you mentioning having extra wood on top of the tank . I don't know why the difference but mine only had the 1/2" plywood on top of the tank , no way to lower it .

When I bought my C10, it was the inner and outer shell and previous owner rebuilt tub with nothing else and was about 1000 lbs.

When we brought our C-10 home, about 15 months ago, we set out to using as much of the original as possible, due to job and budget constraints and the fact that we just like the look and feel of the original, OUTSIDE as well as inside. After our first outing in November, when we got back home, we parked the truck, and considered ourselves extremely blessed and protected that we had not been at least seriously injured, or worse, after finding several mechanical and other problems with the F-250. Still working to correct the truck problems, as we are able, in order to get back out among the world. In the interim, we've started doing some re-work on our C-10, mostly problems left over from the original repairs, when we had NO CLUE WHATSOEVER about what we were doing, just taking things as they came and learning as we went. Also, I started reading this tome of a thread from front to back, to glean as much as I can from you guys. So, as of this moment, I've gone through Page 200. Almost done. Great stuff.
We were still getting just a weep of water from the new city water connection that I'd installed last week, so we took it apart again yesterday, and hopefully, it will behave when I get back out to test it (this weekend is supposed to be mid- to upper-90's, so we're taking a couple of days rest). Next planned phase is to work on 12-volt system, then re-do tie-down supports and jack-points.
Still "miles to go before we sleep", but just wanted to say 'thanks', again, for all the help, ideas, and inspiration that you have been to us. And, God willing and the creek don't rise, we'll get back out there before Summer's over.
Be safe.

Thanks for the link, I'll sure look.
Did anyone, once the insulation was out,put a bead of Vulkem on the seams from the inside?
Is there anything that would speak against it ?
