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 ;)
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.
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.
@@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.
Thanks for the overview! I have one of these with a cracked flush ball (flapper), and it seems like there are no replacement flush ball kits available for this model toilet...
Steve, could you please give me the part number for the “floor gasket” (what would be the wax ring on a home toilet)? I’ve tried pausing & replaying your video without success. Thanks for this very informative & useful video!
Great video. Could see that the ball pivot is not the same on both sides. It was easier to install the seal with the ball closed, Didn't have to feel for that flange all the way around.
Yes. Happened on mine. Will try to get the 4 bolts and nylon inserts for the ceramic bowl. Can’t find them online… yet. Will call Dometic. I will be pissed (no pun intended) if they won’t supply them to me. Unfortunately, 1/2” too short to install 320 toilet.😢
Excellent information!! I am extremely grateful for you and your knowledge. Thank you for sharing this video, im now a subscriber you sir are an excellent teacher
Hey Steve. Thanks for the vid. My problem is the flap won't open with the foot pedal. The pedal just moves up and down with spring action but, the flap won't open. After I remove the 'cap' of the pedal the stamp says "DANGER do not remove". What can I do? Thanks, Richard
Great video. The ball doesn't close completely on mine. This video was very helpful as now I know how it works before I go to removing parts to figure out what's up with it.
Great video, I have a Dometic toilet that has started to not hold water, now I know how to replace the flush valve seal! Time to put on the gloves and hold my breath....haha! Thanks!
I replaced my little black rubber ring, and it still doesn’t hold water, so maybe I need to replace that little white flapper ball, or maybe put silicone grease on the rubber washer.
I took out a thirty seven year old toilet from my rv. Replaced it! Hit an impasse. My old toilet was an upper flush and the domestic is foot . The old hose doesn't make its way to the lower connector. It is too long and won't bend. In addition, there was a oring perhaps in the old water supply hose that fell in the toilet. Help! On my own here
Do you where to purchase a Flush Ball for this model? I have looked everywhere on the net and found nothing. I have yet to find an exploded view diagram that even shows the flush ball for the Dometic 310.
Thanks for the video. Question? I have a water leak coming from the foot pedal, where the fits into the toilet. I pulled the flush valve out without disconnecting water and didn’t see a leak. Any thoughts where it might be coming from? Thanks
Appreciate the walk around the whole toilet. Most people just show sections and limited repairs.
Your video answered a lot of questions I have regarding my Dometic 310. Thank you.

Oh my goodness what a disaster
Thanks for the 'tour' Very informative for that inevitable and un-envious job.
Great walk thru. Thanks.

Will this toilet not have the same issue of urine and crap getting between the walls like the dometic 300 seems to do?
Yes. Happened on mine. Will try to get the 4 bolts and nylon inserts for the ceramic bowl. Can’t find them online… yet. Will call Dometic. I will be pissed (no pun intended) if they won’t supply them to me. Unfortunately, 1/2” too short to install 320 toilet.😢
@@davidcooper3871so you say the 310 has the same potential leak fault?

How do you remove the foot pedal

You can't get one that I know of, they don't sell it.
Thank you, help me a lot.

@@dieselwiezil mine turned out to be the flush valve. It was leaking out the end.
Mine leaks out the middle can't figure it out 🤦🏻

Yes how do you take off flush pedal?
That’s my question! Can’t find the answer anywhere…

It looks like you pop that cover off side.
What size is the shut off valve?
It's 1/2"
I have replaced the flush valve twice and don’t know why it continues to not work but for a couple of days does anyone have any suggestions
What's it doing?
