At the end of our last trip on the way home I noticed that the water at the toilet was about 1/3 flow, like it was plugged. Well I just loaded the camper prepping to leave and noticed it again, yes I forgot to look into it.The flow everywhere else is fine.How would I go about checking the line for a plug? Would blowing air thru it be possible? It still works but very slow. I have a Lance 185S Squire Lite. Thanks

I would suggest you look for a blockage of Sand and stuff in the line to the toilet or a crimped tubing.

Did you winterize your TC, and if so open the proper valves?Wayne

The first place I would look is at the stop on the bathroom wall. Remove the flex hose first and see what the flow is coming out the front of the stop and the remove the stop to see if something is plugging the backside of the stop.

I wouldn't pressurize the line. I did this once in a boat and it blew off at a junction that was impossible to get to.

Wow, I wish ours was at 1/3 flow, also wish it had a stop valve, Id throttle it back till it was at 1/3 flow. But our toilet is plumbed direct and rigid PEX line, if there was what I thought a problem in flow (too little) it would be in the toilet valve itself. Id pull line to toilet-have someone turn pump on for a second (wet bath) to see if line or toilet?

Trailgranny50...remove the flow restrictor from the hose and shower head, if can't remove with pointy tool then drill a hole in it and step up the size until you get the flow you want. They hide those restrictors in many places, sometimes at the hose ends and then in the shower hand head near the connecdtion point, may even be a screen that is plugged with goop/sand etc, clean it see if that fixes your issues...the taps have these too at the end call aerators with screens and restrictors.Hope this helps!
Don't be timid to remove them, just take note of order and direction to put it back...don't need to put all of it back either I usually just leave the screen part and clean it once a year.

Well I removed the toilet today and found my problem to be a calcium deposit plugging the valve, poked the hole with a peice of tie wire and it's working, now just waiting for a new seal. Great time to clorox the bathroom with the toilet removed. Sure was suprised how light those plastic toilets are.My wifes purse is heavier.

Had that problem in the past and it was the valve where the water came into the bowl. Like someone else said just a small plastic piece, cheap and fairly easy to replace. Worked wonders. And like yet another poster, our newly installed stool has the reverse issue. Wish the shower head had that much pressure! LOL

If your unit is a Thetford Aqua magic, the water line and connection is hidden in the center of the back of unit.

Well it's been about 4 months and a few trips and still not fixed, I do have good flow at the incoming water line so I'm going to pull the toilet in the next week and see what I come up with. I'll report my findings and won't leave you hanging. As you can tell I'm not in a real rush, want to take care now while I have time between trips. Just got back from a week at Jalama Beach under perfect conditions so I'm rested and ready to go...
