Hi Curtis,

like that on eBay for $1500 tops!... with a pedigree.

The head on Indigo is a Wilcox-Crittenden HeadMate - which is now
"supported" by Thetford.
The head has developed an annoying leak around the "T" handle (piston rod)
which is clearly clean water as it only leaks when pumping water into the
head, never when pumping dry.

Unless the block or head is bad you would probably be better to fix the old
one. Just my 2 cents.

Is worth a lot more than $500 if all parts in place and in like new
