If you have been following my adventures long enough you will remember that the extensive repairs to the RV in 2018<\/a> included replacement of the half-bath toilet. This was a $500 repair item. That toilet started dripping from the water connection, occasionally, almost immediately, prompting me to put a cup under the connection to catch the drip.
