How to Replace an RV Toilet Water Valve

An RV trailer toilet water valve is easy to replace; you'll see the valve is located under the toilet on the water supply side. Since a toilet is such an essential part of a pleasant RV experience, make sure this valve gets replaced as soon as you see signs of a wet floor near the toilet, or when your toilet begins continually flushing.

Instructions

    • 1

      Unplug all of the water and sewer hookups to your RV and drive it to a designated waste water dump site to safely drain your water tank. Make sure your emergency brake is on and your RV is parked on a flat surface before beginning.

    • 2

      Remove the plastic toilet base cover with your screwdriver; the cover is held on with only one screw so it's easy to take off. Next, take out the two screws that hold the toilet handle in place.

    • 3

      Find the water valve and unscrew the two screws holding it in place and throw them away. The old screws may be corroded and won't work in the new valve.

    • 4

      Clean the little wire mesh screen filter on the incoming water supply side. The filter can get clogged and restrict water flow to the toilet.

    • 5

      Attach the new water valve with the new screws and then turn on the water to the toilet so you can make sure there are no leaks.
