I need a new blade valve for my Coleman 827B802T porta-potty. When I pull the handle out to "flush" it, water leaks from around the steel rod. Where can I find one now that Coleman has discontinued this model? Thanks.

According to the Sportsmobile custom website, the porta potti you have is called a Thetford Electric flush porta potti. There is only one electric flush made by Thetford, so a model number is not necessary to locate instructions or a manual that shows maintenance and use ect.
Here is a link to the manual, parts list and usage instructions for your Porta Potti. When the page opens, click on the link on the top right hand side that says "manual" to download a PDF version to save to your computer.
I hope this helps? If you are happy with my solution, please rate it on Fixya! Thanks!
They don't have rebuilt parts kits that I am awareof, but you can get replacement parts for them at most any RV service center. They are pretty easy to repair yourself. Tool Belt Diva
Thetford says that the vacuum breaker is usually at fault. I have the same problem. Try changing the vacuum breaker first (it is easier than the water valve).
Hi! Spray blade which closes holding tank with silicone spray. Make sure spray goes under lip of sealing ring. Also spray around holding tank actuator knob allowing to penetrate underneath to shaft. Don't use a silicone grease as this will gum up the works. If you can't get hold of a light silicone spray try using household type silicone polish intended for furniture. Wipe off any surplus as only thin film required.
