[C320-list] electric toilet conversion

[Ken Danko]

Robert:

I had a similar incident and replaced my head with a Raritan PH2. When I say 
similar, I don't mean that the joker failed, but I had the same result. A 
guest destroyed my head by pulling the pump apart at a very inopportune 
time. The Raritan is a MUCH sturdier unit so I am confident that I will not 
have a repeat. I posted photos of the new head on the web site.

I thought long and hard about an electric head but abandoned the idea 
because it was too complex an installation, at least for me.

It sounds like your problem isn't the head itself. The joker can fail in any 
head, electric or manual. They should be checked from time to time. My guess 
is that your joker failed because the holding tank was full or the air vent 
to the holding tank was blocked.
