Dometic Toilet (resolved)

The toilet wont hold water tried the vasoline trick didn't work, made sure it's clean could it just be the seal, this thing is only 2 years old I would think the seal would last longer than that. Turns out that the valve has a little indentation about 6" down below the valve and it slipped out of that. Thanks everyone.

    What Dometic do you have? The 310 has a seal that can be replaced in 10 min or less, no disassembly. Ck utube

    Mineral oil works well for this purpose. Dirt cheap. Usually find it in the pharmacy section as it is also used as a laxative.

    Never use a petroleum based product like Vaseline. Plumbers silicone is preferred. We put olive oil in ours when ever it's going to sit. Camco sells a product for toilet seals.
