Thetford RV toilet leak behind toilet or at base

Use this when a Thetford RV toilet leaks behind the bowl, at the water supply connection, while flushing, or between the closet flange and toilet base.

Owner-safe checklist

  • Turn off the RV water supply or water pump from normal owner controls and dry visible water before the leak spreads.
  • Record whether water appears behind the toilet, during flushing, at the visible supply connection, or between the toilet and floor.
  • From normal access only, check that the visible water supply line connection at the toilet is seated and not loose.
  • Contact Thetford, a dealer, or qualified RV service for persistent leaks, suspected vacuum breaker or water valve failure, flange leaks, or any step that would require toilet removal.
