The Legacy of the Magic 1978 Crew

The Magic 1978 crew was a legendary team in the world of basketball. Comprising of talented players and a skilled coach, they were known for their exceptional gameplay and camaraderie. The team was led by the charismatic Earvin "Magic" Johnson, who was only a rookie at the time but showcased remarkable talent and skill. Under the guidance of their coach, Jack McKinney, the Magic 1978 crew began to make waves in the basketball scene. With Johnson as the point guard, the team's offense was fast-paced and exciting to watch. Magic's ability to see the court and make precise passes earned him the nickname "Magic.

Thanks Gary. I have seen this before and like before I could not understand what they were saying and how the pics fit with words. Sorry. I am used to a more detailed manual for each configuration without guessing if this or that is what they mean.
I have put silicon on the ball-valve and where the foot assembly enters the base of the the toilet. That works for a bit but how they can sell these and expect owners like myself to understand what they mean is beyond me. I'm sure there are others who feel the same about Thetford and their documentation.

Pulled the peddle again and with close inspection, the black spring loaded arm had formed a tiny DENT in the plastic so when released by foot flushing it reset into the dent and that was not far enough to turn it off. The valve and gasket assembly fails after a couple of years where you have to grease the seal and it wont hold water and even with a rebuild kit it will still fail.

Magic's ability to see the court and make precise passes earned him the nickname "Magic." The crew consisted of other notable players, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was the team's leading scorer, and Jamal Wilkes, who was known for his exceptional shooting skills. Other key members of the Magic 1978 crew included Norm Nixon, Michael Cooper, and Spencer Haywood.

Thetford aqua magic style ii water valve fix

We just opened our camper up this weekend after it's long winters nap. I noticed yesterday afternoon just before leaving that there was a small puddle of water on the right side under where the foot pedal is. I mopped up the water with a paper towel and felt around for water. I used the foot pedal and that's where the leak is coming from. It's not a lot but over time it will be an issue.

The toilet is a Thetford Aqua Magic II. I did see on a google search something about these toilets being sensitive to both too high (makes sense) and too low water pressure. Oddly enough the campground we're in was experiencing a significant leak in their water system so the water pressure was running around 20lbs. Typically, it's right around 40-42lbs of pressure. The toilet was fine Friday evening and all day Saturday when pressure was more normal.

Is this a common issue where a seal in the fool pedal fails?

Look forward to any tips or feedback.

Yup. They sent me seal kits for my two units. Front bath still dropped and rear started again. Jayco replaced both and now fine

While your down there now is the perfect time to install a shutoff valve for that future problem. Now you'll be able to provide water to the rest of your unit and not really upset your vacation plans. Shark fittings are super easy to do and a good time to teach the kids about plumbing.

Tunce the Traveler--

Fortunately, I noticed a shutoff valve has already been installed so I guess it's a matter of nailing down what parts I need to repair this thing.

Found the Thetford repair kit to fix this issue. I found a decent price from RVupgradestore.com--Thetford 42049 Aqua Magic Style II Water Valve Replacement Kit. Hopefully it arrives before Friday when I head back up to our camp.

Thanks for the responses. Apparently this is one of those periodic repairs one must do.

Remove that toilet and replace with a Dometic 310 or 320. the Thetford aqua magic 2 toilet is junk and will fail and flood your camper. The valve and gasket assembly fails after a couple of years where you have to grease the seal and it wont hold water and even with a rebuild kit it will still fail. Many Many people have had issues with that toilet and you are now having it also.

I do not agree that the Style II is junk. My trailer is a 2011 and all parts of the trailer have bee used extensively. I have replaced the water valve - easy to do - and the ball seal valve (the one in the middle between the two parts of the toilet). This replace was not difficult, either.

The hint I have been making is that it is a good idea to squirt a little silicone lubricant into the water valve. The valve is open to the outside, usually covered up by the foot lever. If you press the foot lever down, the valve interior becomes accessible. Since I have been doing this lubrication occasionally, I have had no issues with the valve. One issue without the lubrication is that it makes the foot lever return not far enough, which makes water leak out of the bowl; with occasional lubrication this has not happened. The lube also makes the water valve O ring seal last longer.

I had a Thetford for 3 years full timing doing the same thing as you. grease this, spray that remove this, and one night the toilet didn't hold water as usual and it filled the black tank and flooded the camper. We are not the only ones to have that happen. On my other forum the first thing to go is the aqua flood with many many issues involving that toilet> Why keep messing with the Thetford aqua magic 2 when you can replace with a toilet that dosent need any of that attention and you don't have to disassemble the toilet to remove the ball seal. The Dometic is the only way to go and now i sleep better at night, Its not the matter of if, but when it will flood your camper and it will. It starts by not holding water and then it hold the lever a little were the valve leaks, fills the black tank and that's when it happens a flood if you dont keep an eye on it. When our new pinnacle gets here the first thing to go is the Aqua 2 toilet, the dealer is replacing it with a Dometic 320. But its your camper so Good Luck. Were just sharing with some others our experience with that toilet.

Reviews for "Remembering the Magic: A Tribute to the 1978 Crew"

1. Sarah - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the "Magic 1978 crew" show. The magician made so many mistakes during his tricks, it was obvious to everyone in the audience. It felt like amateur hour, not a professional performance. The tricks themselves were nothing innovative or exciting either. Overall, it was a lackluster experience and definitely not worth the ticket price.

2. Michael - 1/5 - I couldn't believe how unentertaining the "Magic 1978 crew" was. The tricks were cheesy and predictable, and the magician lacked any stage presence or charisma. It almost felt like he didn't want to be there. The show dragged on and I found myself checking my watch every few minutes, waiting for it to be over. I would not recommend this show to anyone looking for a quality magic performance.

3. Emma - 2/5 - As a fan of magic shows, I was excited to see the "Magic 1978 crew," but I left feeling underwhelmed. The tricks performed were basic and unimpressive. I've seen better magic performed by amateurs on YouTube. The show lacked creativity and a sense of wonder. I expected to be amazed, but instead, I was bored throughout the entire performance. I wouldn't waste my time or money on this show again.

4. Tom - 1/5 - The "Magic 1978 crew" was a complete letdown. The magician seemed disorganized and was fumbling through his tricks. It was evident that he lacked skill and practice. The audience wasn't engaged, and there was no sense of excitement or anticipation during the show. It felt like a low-budget performance that was thrown together at the last minute. I regret attending this show and would not recommend it to anyone.
