toilet problem

[laidback]

So our less than year old cougar has a problem, the toilet doesn't flush.
When you press the foot lever the water barely trickles out, not nearly enough to get the job done.

Water pump is fine, both sinks have plenty of water when turned on.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the update, glad you got it fixed and that it was an easy fix.:)

Update:
your suggestions were right on!
the water line coming has a screen, this screen was completely clogged with plasticy grime.

Thanks for the help

Check under the pedal. Maybe a rock or twig (something) under the petal not allowing you to fully press the pedal down.

maybe I'm way off here but this is staring at me "So our less than year old cougar ". As much as I'd like to learn to fix everything that could every possibly go wrong with my trailer, and this forum is fantastic for learning ... has anybody else thought WARRANTY on this one ?

I had this EXACT problem 2 weeks ago.
I went a "head" and ordered the new valve from Amazon for my Thetford Auqa Magic IV.

When I pulled the valve I found a small rock in the orifice.
Put the new valve in anyways since it was already apart.
HUGE difference.

Sounds like you have a Sealand Toilet

Holes in rim could be clogged

OR inlet screen in water supply valve may be clogged (under side pedal cover where inlet line connects)

If it was working previously then the line is not kinked. Kinks don't happen spontaneously, in my experience. I agree with the suggestion that there may be crud in the line and it is partially plugged.

Haha...seeing as we bought this new 11 months ago

There are about 12 water holes going around the top of the bowl, I'll check out some of your suggestions when I get home.

And don't forget the dually

check the toilet flush valve also. We get units in quite often with bad/damaged or cracked toilet flush valves

Before you try the costly and tedious repairs, take a wire and probe the hole where the water is supposed to come out on the toilet rim. I replaced the valve with no improvement. The wire "repair" restored the full flow. Wished I'd have done that first.
