Two Toilets, Two Problems
I have broken both toilets on our camper. Insert joke here. :o
At the Fort this past week, we learned of two problems with our toilets. Before I go trying to pull things apart, I'd like to know if anyone has experience with either issue. I'd rather fix them myself as the idea of leaving it at our CW for a month or two to be repaired makes me sad. Its still under warranty but I'm hoping this is an easy fix for me to tackle.
One toilet started leaking toward the end of the trip. When I say leaking, I mean when you release the foot pedal, water still very slowly flows out of the holes around the ring. If left alone, it would slowly fill the bowl and run out all over the floor. At night or when we left the camper, I would just turn off the water outside. Later when I would turn the water back on, it would not leak. But as soon as we flushed a few times, it would start back up again.
The other toiled will not seal when closed. It looks OK from the outside but it will not hold water in the bowl at all. It quickly drains out into the black tank. This is the second half-bath so we didn't use it because the odors were too tough to handle.
Any ideas?
