| The water valve in my toilet started to fail. The
foot pedal had to be pumped a few times to begin the flush. The
valve was also starting to leak, causing the carpet at the base of the
toilet to get wet. For $134, I got a brand new toilet, which even
included a spray nozzle.
This was a simple job. Took maybe an hour. Only needed 1 wrench for the toilet mounting bolts. The water line has wing-nuts, so they are easily removed/installed by hand. Turn off the water, and open a faucet to release the water pressure before starting. Make sure you empty and flush your tank before beginning this project. A healthy dose of Thetford's Aqua-Kem deodorant will keep your nose happy while the toilet is removed. This is a very easy DIY project. I bought my MH used, so I expect such things to fail. Not due to neglect, but rather due to age and usage. While the odometer has 40,000 miles on it, I also lived in this coach for about a year. I could have spent the time to locate parts and rebuild the original toilet, but I didn't think the savings would have been worth the time and effort. |
