The slide on the toilet has jammed so that the blade only opens a very small amount. Have tried to see what the problem is but cannot find any clear reason why. Can anyone help?

I’m with you-1) remote spraying, if it don’t work then trash it. I don’t have no truck with faecal matter in any way shape or form. I am however willing to help the economy with purchases👍🏻. Don’t thank me, spending?, it’s my job😊

Throwaway plastic gloves don't  cost a fortune. Alternately, you could ask around the site if anybody has knowledge of the problem, ask them to show you how to solve it. Be generous and let them wear a pair of the gloves. Not difficult is it? Probably never happen again but you will have learnt lots.

Interesting comments!  To try to help the OP.  I assume you can remove the cassette from the caravan and that you can operate the slide on it.  Handle inside still not moving properly?  Then the problem is on the 'seat' side.  Handle moving ok then try the following.

Remove the cassette.  Using a small mirror,  on the top side of the fitting you will be able to see a white plastic ratchet connecting to a notched spindle that connects to the internal lever, there will be one screw holing this together. It is possible that the ratchet part has slipped out of alignment.  If so, remove  the little screw in the centre of the ratchet and refit so that the spindle is about centre on the ratchet.  If that does not do the trick can't help further.  It worked for me when the bits got out of alignment when in Germany a few years ago - not nice getting your bits out of alignmentsurprised.  BTW no need to wear gloves for this repair!

This sounds like the fault with mine.

We had a slide/sealing mechanism come apart, so purchased a replacement. To remove the old one what you do is reverse the slide and use it to turn the mechanism. There are marks on the cassette and slide mechanism when aligned up show when it can be extracted. Ditched the old and reversed the procedure to insert the new one, successfully. There were clear instruction too with the replacement part as how to go about the procedure. The specific cassette type number should be in your caravan handbook.
