Toilet not closing all the time
Lately the toilet in our TT has not been closing all of the way. I've cleaned it and I've made sure the gasket has been cleaned also. I was wondering if anyone has tried WD 40 or some other lubricant....

Most likely a piece of TP has made it's way into the grove.
I had that problem in my old Airstream, I was all for taking the toilet apart to put a new seal in. Luckily I went into a small independent RV repair place and the tech told me to take a coat hanger and run it " VERY GENTLY" around the grove in the seal.
Guess what I found. Yep a chunk on TP lodged in the grove stopping the valve from closing.
If you are going to use a lubricant then as Grandpere said use silicone, it will not attack the rubber. While your at it clean all of your rubber weather stripping on the camper and you motor vehicles and treat them as well.
You don't need to pay RV prices for the same product that you can get at an auto store for half the money.
