Can you see water running into the toilet bowl after you've flushed? And it keeps running? That's probably going to be the flush valve on the toilet. Easy to replace, not that expensive.
Yes ... Water is running into the toilet bowl after its been flushed and keep on running. The only way I could think of to stop it was to shut off the DC to the RV. That worked ... but it also shuts down the Refrige as the DC, I believe activates the Control Panel AC to the unit. Maybe I should try to locate and remove the fuse for the water pump for now and than see if I figure out How to get to the flush valve on the toilet bowl, etc. Thanks for the suggestion I believe that is the cause of the problem.
Can't see water running into the toilet bowl? Do you see water on the floor of the bathroom? Or dripping to the ground underneath the RV? Then you likely have a split pipe, bad valve, or a bad water pipe connection somewhere. Might feel around the piping going to the toilet for drips of water.
The pump is pressure activated. Turns it on if the pressure drops (by turning on a faucet or toilet valve or caused by a leak) turning it off when the pressure reaches 45 PSI. So if there's a leak somewhere, and the pump switch is 'On' (most RVs have a 'water' switch in 1-2-3 places in the RV where you can switch the pump on or off), that leak causes a loss of pressure, which causes the pump to run to bring it back up.
That's a fine suggestion. Hopefully I may be able to locate a switch directly responsible for the Water Pump. So far, other than that I have a switch to shut off the DC for now. As you mentioned it appears that the flushing lever valve probably have stuck on. Thanks again. All I will need to do/know is how to get to the valve assembly. KC
