    The rubber seal where a hose connects isn't available, from all the research I've done. It requires the entire $20 assembly to be replaced instead of a one dollar o-ring. I get that the safety features aren't serviceable, but the most external rubber seal should be easily replaced. Excellent video, so thank you.

    Thanks for the walk through of all the parts. I'm having a problem with the toilet not stopping after flushing. Got up to use the toilet at night and when my wife woke up a couple hrs later she discovered water all over the floor in the bathroom. It had soaked the bedroom carpet, run down into the storage compartment and into the underbelly soaking all the insulation. We took everything out of the storage compartment to dry out, and I dropped the cover on the bottom of the 5th wheel to get all the water out. I replaced all the insulation with new/dry R-13 insulation and buttoned the bottom back up. It was 19 degrees out when I finished and everything I'd taken out of the storage area, if it hadn't dried out (it was 37 when I started) was frozen. Over the next 2 days we were able to dry the basement and our carpets out, (lucky the outside temp rose to 41). I was going to purchase a new toilet, but now after seeing your breakdown of how this works, I may only need to purchase a replacement valve.

    • @lawhesl01
      @lawhesl01 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sounds like the flush valve was leaking by. It's a pretty common problem and I always carry a spare. They are easy to replace. You should install a shutoff valve on the water line to the toilet so when this happens it's easy to isolate it without having to shutoff the water to the trailer.

    • @petenelson8136
      @petenelson8136 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@lawhesl01 Yep, that what I figured. I order a valve, it will be here next Tuesday. The valve is sticking periodically we're keeping an eye on it and transferring our water to dry camping at night so we can hear the pump if it doesn't shut off (we FT in the 5th wheel while our new house is being built). I agree, and will be adding a shutoff valve behind the toilet when I fix the valve. Thanks again for the very through overview of the 310.

    Thank you sir, I was trying to figure out why the top (ceramic) part of my 310 was wiggly and the bottom (plastic) part of it was solid. Looks like I have to take the whole thing off to get to those four screws from the bottom and tighten them up. Thing is, it came that way from the dealer so I always just figured that's how they were (first time RV owner here). Well, found out that's not the case so went searching for a break down and this is the best one I found. Thank you again ;)

    I accidentally left the water pump switch on when I was hooked up to the house and started using the faucets and shower. I notice that within a few days my fresh water tank filled up. My guess the by-pass on the pump allowed the water to get through the pump and into the fresh water tank.
