There is a black tank vent in the toilet I'm not exactly sure it's purpose but I've read about them here on RV.net. You have the flush valve closed so the bowl is only half full. But the bathroom sink is full of water and water seeks it's own level. So the water slowly drains out of the sink drain and the water level in the tank rises to fill the toilet pedestal and then pushes it's way out the vent.
Look on the bright side, with how cold it is there you can probably use a snow shovel to just pick up the frozen spill off the ground and drop it in a dumpster.
Or throw it out in the road giving a new meaning to the term black ice :B :B
Lol on the black ice!
It was on my bathroom floor, - wish it was on the ground outside!
You are the only one to offer an explanation of the vent in the back of the toilet. Not sure why they would put one there but.....
Bowl was half full because it came up at me when I opened the valve for a peek! Eek! :E Quickly closed that one!
All is well now, got the tanks drained, got the mess cleaned up - onward and upward we go.
How boring would it be if nothing ever happened? I enjoy dealing with some situations. Not sure I like mopping black water up off the floor with a rag and my bare hands though.... At least it was well diluted with soap and sink water. I bet I washed my hands at least 6 times after that one!
