Thetford valve

[bdub]

I just found that my lip seal on the back of the holding tank has got a
gouge out of it. That's why it doesn't seal good. Do any of you know
where I might find just the lip seal for this valve? It's 3.5" OD X 3" ID
X ~.250.
It's the original valve on the back of the tank. It has the stainless
steel backing plate.

Thanks

Thanks Emery
I tried Camping World this afternoon with no luck. I've got an email in to
Thetford. Will find out next week I suppose.
