Toilet leaks around bottom

[Barnjess]

I’ve noticed the last few weeks that our toilet leaks around the bottom. It’s not a constant leak but seems to be getting more frequent. Has anyone else had this happen and what do you do to stop it Thanks in advance.

May help to know the model of commode. The Dometic units have a valve on the lower right side that may be leaking (where the water feed hose enters the toilet). Place a short tumbler (glass) under the valve and see if it collects water over time. If it collects water you likely need to replace the valve which is $30 to $40 and an easy fix. If a Thetford I have no idea!

I had it happen in my 2018. Dealer was unable to duplicate it of course. But the campground had 65 PSI water pressure so I lowered it to 50 and problem solved until I get a better one.

We have a Thetford. And they are saying water pressure is high here. Will get a water regulator see if that helps

First thing, get a "regulator" shown below

not this "restrictor".

Secondly, if you have the Thetford toilet you'll have to remove it to repair/replace a leaking valve, while it's removed toss it in the garbage or use for target practice & replace it with a Dometic 310 or 320, you'll be glad you did.
The parts for the Thetford are expensive, peddle was $70-80, & has to be removed to repair most any parts. As mentioned you can completely rebuild the Dometic for $30-40 in place.

I agree with Danny on the Dometic. I have been using mine FT for 4 years and only had to replace the valve once!

for the guys the 320 is nice , it has a elongated bowl. I would agree with Danny 65+ psi is going to possible cause issue like the valve or other places dripping

Are you positive it's leaking, we get moisture around ours sometime, but it's just condensation due to high humidity.

Hubby tightened the plastic connecter from water pipe to toilet. So far no more leaks.

My Thetford actually worked better at the higher pressure.
My regulator is set at 55psi & that's a good pressure provided there's that or more at the spigot, usually the places we go it's around 35-40psi which is NOT enough.
