The Toilet In My Motorhome Is Leaking

by Robert
(San Antonio, Texas)

As soon as I turn on water to R.V. carpet in bathroom becomes soaked. Do you think a water hose may be the problem?

Thanks

P.S. I have not taken the toilet apart.

ANSWER: Greetings Robert thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.

Well Robert you have taken away all of my fun as you have pretty much diagnosed your own problem. Since you do not tell me what brand toilet you have I am going to have to give you a general answer as to what the problem might be.

If you are lucky it is just a loose water fitting that needs to tightened on the toilet itself. If you are sorta lucky it could be a leaky hose that has to replaced or repaired.

If you are not so lucky it could be a leaky Ball Valve or Flush Valve that needs to be replaced. There are other problems that could be causing the leak as well, but those other problems vary by type and brand of RV Toilet you have.

Bottom Line: You are going to have to jump in and dig deeper (pun intended) to find the actual leak. Once you find to leak you are going to have to buy the RV Toilet Repair Parts that you need to fix the problem.

I hope this helps.
