Replacing the toilet. Again.

Posted by on March 12, 2024

If you have been following my adventures long enough you will remember that the extensive repairs to the RV in 2018 included replacement of the half-bath toilet. This was a $500 repair item. That toilet started dripping from the water connection, occasionally, almost immediately, prompting me to put a cup under the connection to catch the drip. Yes, I tried to fix it but never got it tight enough to completely stop the drip. But I did catch most of the water, so no rot resulted. I have lived with this annoying drip for at least 5 years.

More recently the pedal valve started to leak whenever I flushed. This started as a few drops but got worse over time, to the point where I had to mop the leakage each time I flushed.

At least it was all fresh water leaks. No sewage.

But REALLY annoying nevertheless.

I finally, after much prompting from Marlene, got around to replacing the toilet. I bought one online and installed it myself in under an hour.

NO MORE LEAKS! Yay.

Total cost: about $150. Why did I wait so long?
