Leaky toilet

The connection from the water line into our toilet has developed a drip. Tried to tighten connection but afraid to go too tight and strip threads. Any ideas?

It looks leaking may be coming from toilet side after closer look

We had it at dealer for some work and had them winterize. Possible it froze before they do it

Water valve connected to waterline. Go to Dometic site and you will find what part you need. This is common repair. Even after I winterized my trailer this happened.

There is a spot in the valve that harbors water and requires a thorough and continuous flush with antifreeze to get it all out.

Mine was dripping also. After replacing with new valve, inspected it to see it was cracked. Did not freeze, but was cracked. Need a short stubby screw driver for the screw. Easy fix.
