When your toilet bowl is no longer holding water, a worn flush ball seal is the most likely culprit. This can lead to wasted water and less-than-desirable smells wafting up from your RV’s holding tank. Join Product Expert Ian Baker for a quick tutorial on maintaining and replacing a flush ball seal in a Thetford RV toilet.

Unlike residential toilets, RV toilets aren’t made with a P-trap that reduces smells coming back up from “downstream.” In an RV toilet, that inch or two of water you leave in the bowl after each use—yes, that’s “best practice”—is the barrier to keep those smells at bay.

While practicing smart RV holding tank maintenance will also reduce those smells, maintaining your toilet’s flush ball seal is also essential. And if it’s worn out or cracked, you’ll want to know how to replace it so you can enjoy your bathroom in comfort again.
