Oh shoot. The toilet foot pedal fell off.
Well 3300 miles into our 4000 mile trip the toilet foot pedal fell off. Won’t go back on. We’re in Escanaba traveling to Frankenmuth. Any ideas how to fix or should I replace toilet?

Yeah, what brand & model? After having issues with the foot operated water valve and also the ball valve on our Thetford Acqua Magic, we got a new Dometic 310. Much better toilet. Sold the Thetford on FB marketplace and had 3 people interested the next day and put the $$ towards the Dometic.
Easy to pull the toilets up but you want to replace the foam gasket any time you do that. If you have to go to an RV dealer or shop for that anyway, you might see what they have for a new pedal (if needed) or even a new toilet. I had the foot pedal on our Thetford off a couple of times and is not easy to get aligned correctly before pushing it back it place. Cheaply made IMO and can see why it'd come off.
If it's the Thetford Acqua Magic II, there is an online video from Thetford that has a young girl explaining how easy it is to re-install the pedal... :R I had a new foot valve to install in our old Thetford and couldn't quite figure out to put it back together properly. Took it to an RV repair shop and even the owner scratched his head at first. What a stupid toilet! :M
