I am on my Third toilet in my 2008 Monaco Knight. I have a problem where the toilet will operate fine for a period of time and then all of a sudden it will start to fill with water. It has overflowed once.
I have lubricated the value that allows the water to leave the toilet bowl. It gets stiff and sticks after a while.
Can't figure out what is up. I have even replaced the water valve that allows the water to enter the bowl. The only thing I can think of is that I stayed in Texas for a 5 month period of time and the water there was very hard. Not sure if it has formed anything hard in the water lines and it gets into the water valve once in a while.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Yes.......get a portable water softener.
Third toilet  Replacement parts are cheap and toilets are easy to rebuild.
That 'hard' water is not only causing you problems with your toilet water valve & bowl seal but guess what is has been doing inside your water heater tank. Next will be the water heater outlet check valve sticking/failing and the plugging up of faucet screens.

Sorry- don't know what toilet is installed in that coach. Is it Thetford? Sealand? Microphor? Manual? Electric? Air?

Can we assume you ALWAYS use a water pressure regulator? If not .....

By the way. I am to in Texas and not at a park with hard water. Was in Texas a year ago. This has been happening off and on for over 2 years.

I'd keep the toilet and replace the water module. It's a pretty easy job and will almost certainly solve your problems.
