Leaks heavily in cool weather - gasket becomes too stiff to seal properly

model. We bought this for our dome tent. It worked great for a few days in warmer temperatures, but a cold front pushed temperatures to 40 degrees overnight. We found that the rubber gasket between the seat and the tank wasn't sealing properly in the cooler weather when I woke up in the morning and found dirt all over the tent floor. I tried to improve the seal by coating it with petroleum jelly. During the day it worked, and at night when the temperature dropped, sewage flowed back into the tent. I'm not talking about a few drops, I'm talking about the entire liquid contents of the bowl spilling onto the floor - a horrible mess that needs cleaning up. I am absolutely sure that the bowl is properly fixed in the lower container. Anyway, I've given up trying to use it as it's obvious that the rubber gasket doesn't seal properly when it's cold.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • old
