Fixed toilet bowl seal

Well read about using vinegar in my toilet bowl as it would lose the water in bowl, sure enough poured some in let it sit, it did not go dry and after flushing a few times, it now holds water in bowl.
Easy fix.

    Bowl, oil, vinegar; reminds me of a recipe. Never mind.:B

    After a while hard water deposits build up on the blade preventing the rubber seal from doing its job. I had to remove mine and s****e the deposits off before seal would work again. Even a new seal would not have held water without removing the deposits.
  • I tried all the tricks that I knew and it would eventually leak again. Took it to my RV dealer they charged $60 dollars to remove, replace the seal and reinstall including the cost of the seal. Toilet had to come out. 2008 Itasca replaced for the first time.
