Toilet emergency...Help! - dspithaler@... - 08-31-2007 09:49
Hi Juergen Mine has a shut off in the vanity for the toilet. There
is a sprayer under the vanity that has a door that drops down on the street
side that has a shut off in the copper line that goes to the toilet.It is hard
to see because it is behind some other plumbing. Does yours have that sprayer
& the drop down door in the vanity?

Howard hit the nail on the head. I had the same problem with my toilet
years ago. Several times actually. Each time it was a piece of built
up calcium in the water shut off solenoid. I installed a water
shut-off valve right behind the toilet and a electric shut-off switch
next to it. Also put an inline filter screen between the shut-off and
toilet inlet. Havn't had a problem since. BB dropped the ball indeed,
by not having an accessable shut-off. My original one is under the
kitchen sink behind some panels that have to unscrewed, its hard to
find, you need a flashlight, and if you forgot to shut off the pump,
or hooked to external water supply, you just might drown in your own
coach. Thanks,BB,..coach

Toilet emergency...Help! - Scott Forman - 08-31-2007 11:16
I am at a Football tailgate, and my toilet will not quit filling. I
have the original toilet, and don't even know how to take it apart to
look at anything. Any suggestions? I am having to keep my water pump
off now, and it is quite inconvenient & will create a challenge for
taking showers tomorrow morning.
Help!

Not familiar with your original toilet, but if you trace back the water line,
there should be a
toilet shut off valve somewhere.

Scott,
I emailed you a couple manual. I'm assuming you have the air toilet, same as
our 1987 PT38.

Scott,
I got a "out of the office" message back. Do you want the manuals sent to
another email address?

Thanks, that very obvious solution I didn't think of has solved the
problem for now. However, I will still need instructions of how to
fix, if anyone has insight..

Toilet emergency...Help! - Don Bradner - 08-31-2007 11:39
As with most things, we can only talk about our own coaches and hope yours might
be the same. I have an electric Microphor, and the shutoff is in the wall behind
it. I've only had occasion to use it when removing the toilet to remove the
black tank, but I THINK I could possibly get at it without removing the toilet.
When the top is off the back of the toilet, there is a fairly good-sized opening
in the back of the toilet where wiring and water come in. The valve is visible
back there.
The troubleshooting in the microphor manual at
http://www.microphor.com/pdf/LF-220_Manual.pdf says "Water continues to
run. Obstruction in water Solenoid Valve. Remove and inspect Solenoid Valve -
see Solenoid Valve Cleaning" The latter section says:
Solenoid Valve Cleaning
1 Disconnect the power by removing the two blue wires from the solenoid.
2 Disconnect the water supply line at china end.
3 Remove two screws securing the solenoid to the mounting bracket.
4 Pull solenoid away from the Vacuum Breaker.
5 Remove water supply tube.
6 Remove four (4) screws from Solenoid Valve Body and remove spring and
diaphragm.
7 Clean holes in the diaphragm if clogged. Inspect solenoid for debris and
clean. Reassemble in reverse order.

Scott,
I had mine start leaking at RIV last year. I replaced the old OE toilet with a
new china one and put in a cut off valve while doing the change. You might want
to add a cut off valve tomorrow to get you through the weekend. I was
dumbfounded that BB did not have a cut off on the toilet. When you consider all
the other redundant items on the coach someone dropped the ball.

I'll just get it Tuesday, but I don't have an air toilet anyway, it's
a normal Thetford
