Toliet Flush Pedal - Issue or Design?
In my 2008 Keystone trailer, my toilet flush pedal lifted up to fill with water and down to flush it all away. On my 2015 Keystone 30RIPR it only presses down to flush it away. Is this a random issu...

Not sure of the model number but the Sealand porcelain toilet that is in our 2004 trailer has a foot pedal that you must lift up with your toe to add water to the bowl. It is very easy to do and only requires a small lift with the toe of the shoe. If barefoot I will reach down and raise it by hand. Pedal is on the left side of the toilet and the bowl. Ours looks exactly like the left picture in the manual.

Here is a quote from part of the manual.
"To add water to the toilet lift or raise the flush lever until desired water level is reached. Generally, more water is required only when flushing solids.
2.
To flush toilet push lever all the way down until contents leave toilet bowl. Water flow pressures vary at different locations, therefore holding the flush lever down for 4-8 seconds may be required. We require a minimum flow at the inlet of the toilet of 2 gpm (7.6 lpm) for proper flushing.
3.
Allow flush lever to snap back, which permits positive sealing around the flush ball.
4.
A small amount of water should remain in bowl.
Note: Holding flush lever down longer than necessary results in excessive water usage."
