Toilet emergency...Help!

[dspithaler@...]

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

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..

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.

Curt,

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