Re: [VAL] aqura magic toilet



Place screening over the top of the vent on the roof of your trailer - 
secure it with a stainless steel hose-clamp, black tie-wrap, etc.  I would 
think that gray duct tape might look a bit tacky. ;)

Sticking toilet valve - this is the kind that swings left or right or pulls 
off to one side?  Not an easy fix but all the seal may need is to be 
lubricated.  You might try using some dish detergent in a very small amount 
(liquid) to break down any trash in the slide grooves.  Worst case you need 
to get dirty by cleaning the grooves with something that won't destroy the 
integrity of the seals.  What ever you use make sure it doesn't have any 
points that could pierce the seal.  If it's not the slider seal that is 
sticking you may have to look at how the linkage works that is attached to 
the slider - that may need some lubrication or readjustment of the hardware 
as it sounds as if it may be binding.
