Nobody has mentioned raising the waterline to cater for the weight of all these spares,

We are 11 years out and 4 inches deeper at least (but we have no dealers to buy things from in our neck of the woods)

Toilet seal kit / spares

If you have a Jabsco toilet just buy a complete spare pump so that you can swap it out and sort out the failed one at leisure. Also have spare joker valves. When buying them hold them up in their plastic bag and look through them to ensure that the lobes close against each other. Any that show much daylight have been distorted in storage, put them back on the shelf as they will leak. Be careful how you store your spares so that they are not distorted, or they will become useless.
