Dometic toilet issue

Hi there brand new to forum. I bought a new 32' Wildwood back in the fall and have only gotten to use it a couple of times including this weekend. Its a dometeic series 300 we fill bowl about 1/3 with water to flush and use camping TP. TP collects in bottom of toilet about an inch thick and stops it up. Never had this problem with old camper. I'm sure its under warranty but don't want to haul it to dealer and leave it. Were too busy camping. Any advice appreciatd.

    Ok, I see. You are talking about the actual toilet (like you said, sorry). When you say "bottom of toilet", are you referring to above or below the flush ball?

    So if you hold the flush ball open, the toilet paper won't go down the pipe? Isn't this a gravity fed toilet and as long as you hold the valve open, everything should go down the pipe!

    What is the paper hanging up on? I just don't see how it can be a design flaw unless the paper is hanging up on something "below" the flush ball and that could be something not installed correctly or something someone has stuck down there. Have an little kids using this toilet?

  • You should start out with about 5 gallons of water in the tank after draining it. This allows the toilet paper to fall into the water and dissolve. 1/3 bowl of water is only good if you already have water in the tank.

    Hope this helps
