Two issues with my '14 charleston bh430

1st - the rear ac units had an exhaust smell coming through the system today. Any ideas as to why this would be the case?

2nd - after flushing the toilet won't stop running/filling. Had to turn off the water pump and can't connect to city water either otherwise toilet will overflow. Any suggestions?

Thanks

1st did you look around the outside to see if someone was burning in the area? I have had to "jiggle" my foot valve to stop the filling process.

The exhaust smell continued until we shut off AC units. Nothing outside caused the smell. I tried jiggling the handle and had no luck. Any other suggestions would be welcome.

If your setup is the same as a Berkshire, you should be able to shut off the toilet in the water manifold compartment. It's inconvenient, but will allow you to use the rest of the plumbing system.

What toilet do you have ? I can't imagine what the smell would be. If there is do smell outside it might be the filters were exposed to a exhaust smell. You might try cleaning them.

Thanks gasman. I shut off the toilet. Now I just need to get that toilet fixed. I cleaned the air filters and the smell no longer is coming in.
