Puzzled

The toilet started to leak clean water.After much looking the repair shop suggested a new toilet. Long story,replaced toilet and discovered floor under carpet has deterated due to moisture. Now we have new toilet closet flange,seal,and new floor.
Just picked up rig and after 2 flushes it's leaking again.Not a lot but enough to dampen the floor.Retuning to the shop,but they are scratching their heads.
Water connections show no sign of leaks.
Any ideas????
  • Can you access the plumbing near the flush valve? Usually there is a panel that you can remove to see the valve and if it's leaking.
  • No help.want to know cause of leak so it can be fixed.

    Suggestion #1: DELETE CARPET, get rid of it, Toss it out.
    Suggestion #2: Find the guy who thought up the brilliant idea of putting carpet there and ........... I will not complete this suggestion due to legal reasons.
  • Just one possibility. I see you are at Lake Arrowhead, which is in the San Bernardino mountains. I imagine it's pretty cold right now, and that the water coming into the RV is very cold. If you are heating the RV with propane and running cold water into the toilet, you could be getting a considerable amount of condensation dripping onto the floor.
