Dirty water in toilet bowl after sitting

I would first question why you would put your rig in storage with about a third of the black tank full of, well, black tank stuff. Second, I can not see how any of that black tank contents could make it into the bowl. If in fact the toilet bowl was full of, well, black tank stuff, then I would guess that someone took a dump and didn't flush it. :B what a nice thought. :B

Possible that some of the fresh water you got had iron in it? That will turn yellow/brown over time when exposed to air.

I am not sure about the black tank vent. Would this be from the roof? Could water have come in through the vent and into the toilet? We did have quite a bit of rain while it has been sitting.

Lid was left down. It was not full, not even half full. I am pretty sure it was sewer water in the bowl. The battery disconnect was turned to off and the water pump was not left on. And sorry for the topic.

Do you leave toilet lid UP?

Dirt/dust from air settled down into bowl?


Somebody used it?

I parked my trailer in storage last week and just went to check on it today. The black tank was about 1/3 full when I parked it and I left the toilet bowl filled a few inches up with clean water. When I checked it today, the bowl was filled with dirty sewer water. How could it get from the black tank up into the bowl?

It can't,(shouldn't) unless;
1. Your flush seal is bad, in which case, it probably wouldn't have held water in the bowl in the first place.
AND
2. Your tank was much more full than 1/3, it would have to have been FULL (over full) in conjunction with a bad seal.

Do you have water hooked to the trailer? Or,water in the fresh water tank & the pump left on, is there a cap on the black tank vent pipe,
Are you sure it was sewer water?
