Sounds like I have a strange and maybe unigue problem. I will probably not do anything till spring as the TT is winterized and tuck away for its long winter nap. May take the ladder over and check out the vent to ensure it is open.

No criss cross on the lines as we had been camping for five days and this was last day flush/rinse before heading home.

Thanks for the suggestions and advice. May have to talk with dealer and get their opinion.

Please keep us updated.
I am having a problem with my toilet also.
The last trip we noticed water on the floor around the toilet.
I cleaned it up and keep a watch. There was no more water leaking.
UNTIL my wife or daughter use the toilet. (not when I used it)
It seems to only leak if someone is sitting on it and flushes / adds water.
I have checked the seal and everything seems to be ok.
(yes it is still under warranty just do not want to take it 75 miles unless I can not fix it.)

Bamacharlie, you don't say which toilet you have. One of the most common reasons for what you describe is the "closet bolts" need tightening. What happens is after a while the "doughnut" gasket that seals the toilet to the floor flange compresses and no longer seals. Snugging up (do not overtighten)the bolts will usually fix that problem. If you have a thetford with pedals, one bolt will be found behind the pedals and the other can be "felt" kneeling in front of the toilet and reaching behind on the left corner. There is an opening. Your toilet may be different but the solution will be the same.

Thanks !
I do have the Thetford with a pedal and I will look at it today.
It did not start this until AFTER I have the shop replace the seal inside the toilet. (it would not hold water in the bowl).
I will check it out.

Thanks again....

I have a 2007 Jayflight 23FB with a Thetford model 31687, I have the problem of now you see water then you don't. I changed the gasket to water supply at toilet, however that did not fix the problem. The leak seems to be up in the flushing mechanism, there is a little puddle of water on a lip just below the mechanism, which is above where I changed the gasket. Water trickles down after you flush collects under the stool then when you sit on the stool the water runs out from under the stool from the pressure. When I get this thing home from camping, I am going to see warranty man, but would appreciate a quick fix. I am using towels and fan to keep floor dry until we get back home.
