Camping, water leak..... need HELP

We have 07 31 t Jay Feather LGT
We turn the water on and there's a leak somewhere behind the toilet.

I don't know how to turn the water off to the toilet.

I checked the fittings and they seem to be tight but it seems to be coming from behind the seat in the manifold thingy.

One does anybody know if there is a shut off to the toilet I looked on the other side and there was no access panel

Two are there any fittings on that toilet seat besides the one where the water connects.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Unfortunately back then they did not provide shut off valves on the toilet. Probably the valve assembly on the toilet.

Most RV toilets don't come with a separate water on/off valve at the toilet..., have to turn off the whole system. I installed one on my prior '05' TT for just-in-case.

My new 2018 TT doesn't have a separate on/off valve at the toilet...., plan to install one soon.

The problem could be the toilet valve module is leaking. This is a fairly common issue.

I ordered one from amazon for a friend and it was a 30 minute job to replacement. I took the water connection off, took two screws off that attached it and took it outside to remove the module. There was no valve on theirs either.

When we replaced the toilet in ours I added a qtr turn in-line valve just in case.

Thanks so much for the help guys! I ended up cutting the fitting off and slapping a shut off on it for the weekend and will deal with it later. Kind of hard to believe they don't put a shutoff on the toilet . Just glad we caught it before the whole tank drained lol

Check wire continuity first. Check connections at speaker, they are famous for having loose connections at the speaker.

Key question is why don't they? The part would be cheap, when bought in bulk,
and it shouldn't take very long to install it.

But then, it might shave a couple of dollars off the bottom line on the trailer/motor home so that wouldn't do.

If Jayco's are "famous ... for having loose connections at the speaker",
why hasn't Jayco done anything to fix the problem? Can it be that hard to fix a common recurring problem?

They might if enough people take their RV's back for warrranty maintenance on the issue. If we fix it ourselves then they have no reason to fix it.
