Thetford Aqua Magic Style II leaking
I woke up the other night camping in Bryce. When I stepped off the foot of the bed to head to the bathroom, I felt water under my feet. After some quick checking, I discovered that the toilet bowl was full and overflowing onto the floor. I quickly flushed the toilet which emptied it immediately. Fortunately, it had only been running a short time and water was just starting to reach the furnace vents.
I assumed that the flush valve was letting water into the bowl. I watched it carefully and didn't see any water flowing after emptying the bowl. But I didn't want to take a chance. So, I went outside and turned off the city water. I have a pressure regulator installed - so I don't think it is the result of excess water pressure.
I feel like I should replace the valve or the toilet. I don't think I can keep the toilet it as-is and leave the water on with confidence knowing that this happened. If I was asleep for an entire night or left the trailer unattended for several hours, this could do significant damage. Has anyone experienced a toilet leaking in this fashion?
