Leaking toilet fix

My Thetford Style II Toilet bowl no longer holds water caused by leaks around the blade seal in the bowl.  I just found out the fix is very easy and inexpensive.  Seal was $12.99 on Amazon and included new floor flange seal.  Drained water, unscrewed water hose in back of toilet, removed 2 nuts on bottom sides, lifted toilet out, removed 2 bolts in back bottom of bowl (holds bowl to pedestal), removed water hose from bowl, partial twist to separate bowl from pedestal,  lifted off old blade seal, cleaned seal area, applied plumbers grease to new seal, put new seal on top of blade, put bowl back on pedestal reversing removal steps, put water in bowl to test, installed new flange seal on bottom of pedestal, lowered toilet over 2 bolts in floor flange, replaced nuts and water hose and all done.  Took about 45 minutes because I spent time cleaning.

Good job, easy to accomplish. Lots of on-line videos showing how to do it.

We have the same problem. It just started doing this after close to 7 years. John wouldn't let me replace the black tank dump valve when it leaked. His argument was we might get down the road and have major problems and no repair people. Now we are sitting in place with full hook ups, unlimited water use for cleaning things and access to tools and other volunteers for help. I want to pull the toilet apart.

We are also near tens of thousands of winter Texans with motorhomes that probably need repairs so there should be reliable service shops. He wants to call a repair guy.

We'll see how it goes. I'm off to find the youtube videos (they didn't successfully sell him on the dump valve replacement but things could change).
