Most likely crud in the valve. Turn of the water, release any pressure in the lines and remove the toilet valve. Clean out using reverse water pressure or compressed air if you have it.

That was the trouble I had, and that's the way I cleaned it v

thank you gone to try that this morning

[borba]

yes problem fix valve was full of dirt you guys rock on this forum thank you so much

We encountered the problem but no matter what we did as far as draining the water, as soon as I loosened the water valve, it started spraying all over. Our temporary solution involved keeping a bucket in the shower between our feet and catching the clean soapy water. Then, when the commode needed flushing, we held the pedal down and poured a fair amount of the water down the commode. I spray cleaned every day and the fix lasted us 10 days. Jus' sayin'

You didn't fix anything. You had a work around. You have to turn off the water source and open a cold water faucet to relieve pressure then remove the toilet connection to clean out the clog in the toilet valve. Jus' sayin'.

Bubbles I did exacle that close water release pressure take the valve out clean the clog

Be sure to drain and flush your hot water tank and replace the anode rod plus get a filter to put at the water connection. All this helped.

try to load pics don't now y not working the dirt that was clogging the valve looks like saw dust [attach][attach]

It is not saw dust. It is particles from your anode rod in your hot water heater. Been down this road tooooo many times.

I'm pretty sure my toilet is not fed from the water heater!
The OP doesn't say age of trailer. If it's new the "saw dust" might be plastic
shavings from when they hole sawed the fill hole in the fresh water tank. Or it might actually be saw dust from cutting faucet mounting holes or pass thru holes in walls while open plumbing lines are laying around.
Anyway it sounds like a happy ending for Frank!

Happy Trails!

Is the toilet the only water user that get clogged like that?

Outside shower, bathroom faucet?

You should check the filter screens attached to the faucet heads (kitchen, bathroom) from time to time. A little CLR can clean them for better water flow.
Water filters don't catch everything.

Actually your toilet is fed through the hot water heater. My theory is that when your water system is fully under pressure and you flush the toilet the drop in pressure is not fully compensated for from your outside water supply source. Given that there is 10 gallons of water sitting at a higher pressure in your hot water tank the heater back feeds into your cold water supply line carrying any sediment or debris from the decaying anode. This sediment will pulse along each time the toilet is flushed until it gets caught in the screen of the flush valve. Also, the flush valve and the heater are roughly in the same horizontal plane compared to the sinks and the shower. This is why these tend to not get as much sediment as the flush valve. Hope this clears things up.
