We're in Lincoln City, Or on the way to Western States at Auburn, Ca.
Just today our toilet won't bring water in to flush.It will empty mechanically. I do have water in all the right places--
kitchen sink, bathroom sink and shower. but not to the toilet.
Is this a warranty issue with Thetford? It's only about a year old, and was installed by an RV dealer in Ellensburg, Canopy Country.
Is there something I can do temporarily until we get back to Ellensburg? Right now we're pouring water in to flush it.

>>Did it ever work?
Yes, it worked two days ago.
>>Is the water supply shut off?. No, but this is the first use since winter storage.
>>Is the float level high enough?
There's no water in the owl at all.
They do need lots of water in the bowl to flush properly.

Dan,
I think he'll have to take a water PITCHER in with him as I don't think a
water PICTURE will work! ;-)
Sorry I just couldn't resist! ;-)
Hope you're smiling!
Actually the shower hose is the best idea!

Ernie, take a water picture in with you and pour it in the bowl until you
get it fixed. Better yet, just use the shower hose.

Check to see that the foot lever is actually pushing the water valve in when lifting.

Ernie,
You do not say what model of toilet.
They come is several types. With most, water can be added to the bowl with a separate control. If that is not working, either the water to the toilet is shut off, or the linkage to the ball valve has disengaged. The manuals are available online and the fixes are not that tough.
Good Luck
