John,
Yes, that happened to us. What you have to lubricate is the large looking device (looks like a soft ball) that opens and closes when you step on the pedal. Step on the pedal to open it. Spray a heavy dosage of silicone underneath and all around the sides of that that device. Then work it in by opening and closing it a few times. Try to get the silicone on the inside and outside when it is in the open position. When ours was sticking I went to camping world and turned one of the display toilets upside down to see what needed to be lubricated.
I had to do this a few years ago and it’s been fine ever since.
Must be this nice, hot weather we’ve been having in Florida.
Hope to see you next year.
