Thetford toilet issue?

2019 jayco 19 w grey hawk. Thetford model 31688 stock toilet working fine. DW poured about 2 gallons of mop water into toilet and flushed. Walked away and returned a couple of minutes later to find the toilet bowl full and continuing to fill. Reflushed and everything is working fine. Just concerned that this could happen again and possibly go unnoticed with resulting overflow. Has anyone had a similar problem?
Thanks

No, but has the black tank been dumped lately? Or possible the flush valve stuck partially open.

Yes, I have seen it happen a few times over the years, one time to my mother/father in-law.

There was just a little bit of TP stuck at the seal which was enough to keep the flush valve trickling water into the toilet. They were away and after about 10 hours the toilet overflowed and flooded the adjacent bedroom. The carpet had to be disposed of. Luckily, no permanent water damage.

I suspect just a little bit of debris from the mop water was enough to do the same thing.

Its another good reason to turn off water pump or city water connection valve when away from RV for an hour or more.

Great questions. The black tank is or was empty. Stuck valve makes great sense. Thanks
