For all you folks with the same toilet as the 05 HR endeavor has beware of an elbow behind the toilet. The cheap little fitting in mine burst for no apparent reason and created a bit of a mess. I was lucky we were only a few feet from the coach when it happened and got the water shut off quickly. If we had been away for the day........not good. It's an elbow with a rubber gasquet on one end and threaded on the other. I changed it to a braded steel household water line. I would strongly suggest this be changed. I do have a pressure regulator.

thanks, we have a similar toilet.
we also turn our water off at the faucet when we leave in case something like that happens, could happen with any toilet

Ours didn't burst, but did start leaking in the 1st year. We could not find a replacement at any RV store in San Antonio, so I went to HD and they had one for high pressure irrigation system that worked perfect. Been there for 4 years now, without a drop of water showing. I no longer shop RV parts stores for plumbing parts of any kind, HD or Lowe's always has what I need.

I have that toilet and when I first got the coach, I had spotty leaks from that spot....I know the dealer did refit that elbow and reassembled the toilet.

With the same toilet fitting, I had it break open. Fortunately, I was in the coach at the time. It now has a metal fitting.
I appreciate the rv.net advice to turn off the water pump when you are not in the coach. After hearing stories on rv.net, I now turn it off. If I had left it on with the leaking fitting during storage ... well, you can imagine the result.
Note: the website automatically added the advertisement. Interesting.
