Toilet flush ball not moving

[Smitty43]

My Dometic toilet flush ball is not moving when I depress the flush handle, any ideas.--Smitty

The connections are all plastic with one screw. Either the screw has come loose or something is broken. It is a fairly easy repair but a little time consuming. The manual for that toilet should have come with the trailer or is available on-line at Dometic. Parts should be stocked at your dealer or on-line too.

Smitty43, Howdy;

The 'Other Hank' pretty much said it all. Had that happen to me when the
RV was still new to me. Turned out to be the screw that holds it together
was my problem.
In the mean time you can operate the valve by hand (use a rubber glove),
so if you are like me (fulltimer), and had no other option you can still go
about your daily routine.

You will probably need a ball kit. Not very expensive. Mine was broke when I got my trailer new.

Turn off water.
Unhook line to back of toilet.
Remove 2 nuts securing to floor.
Looking into the back there are 2 screws, either a 25 torex or 3/8" head screw.
Remove 2 screws, holding base rotate toilet top CCW about 1/16 of a turn.
Porcelain part comes off.
Foot lever is just stuck into a hole in the plastic, at the pivot point pull straight out. It will seem you are going to break the foot lever, but it does pull out.
Now you will see a screw that goes into the shaft end of the ball.
Remove screw, pull short shaft out.
Now remove the ball thing by flexing it and removing the opposite end from the hole in the toilet base.
Now remove the ball thing.
The ball thing and seal come as a set, instructions are in the package. Mine took about 30 minutes.

The above are for a Style II toilet in my 5th
