Leaking toilet

First thank you for the help.

I got our TT 2 years ago and have taken a few trips but this trip found a few problems. I live in Texas where it hot and I don’t get snow weather.

Now to my issue. The toilet is leaking from the back. It’s not leaking from the water connect but seems to be dripping a few seconds from the plastic the water line connects to.

Anyone having that same problem and is there a easy fix or do I need to take to be service

If leaking from the fitting. Might try taking it lose and using some plumbers thread tape on the threads and reconnect. If that doesn't work the fitting may have a crack in it and Ned to be replaced.

Here a few photo. I believe the fitting is cracked. But not sure how to fix guessing there a part kit. Hoping I don’t have to replace the whole toilet

You won't have to replace the whole toilet. The plastic valve is probably leaking and will need to be replaced. Not a hard job. Get the brand and model number of the toilet and go to a dealer or check Amazon. It will come with instructions.

x2 for this. Also, they used a crimp tool (looks like 3/4) to connect it to the water line so if you don't have one it's a pretty good investment, imho, for any RV owner. (I got one that fits 1/2 and 3/4 inch pipes on Amazon and have used it for 3 connections and none have had any issues.)

It's not technically free if you bought a warranty.[emoji12] How long did they say it would take?
