Holding water with these Thetford toilets is a minor issue. Wait for the time, usually dark 0:30, when the pedal blows of the toilet and water is running, filling the bowl, and you aren't even close to awake enough to figure out what to do to stop the toilet from flooding the rig. I was able to manually turn the shaft to stop the water from flowing, but getting the pedal back on with the spring wasn't happening. I eventually found a new pedal, but less than four months later ended up replacing the toilet with a Dometic, and that's been over seven years ago, and haven't even had to replace the gasket, and we full time.
