S it hard to change out the ball valve seal?

No, very easy.

Nope. It took me about half an hour because I thoroughly cleaned everything.

Heck even I was able to do it and it took longer to look at the instuctions that came with the seal than to do it almost.

If you call the company and tell them your problem they will send you the part for free.

I had a place that did and only charged for actual time it cost about $50 because I already had the seal. It was worth it!

Do you need to replace ball and sring

I'll tell you my story which may help. When I bought my '99 2 years ago the seal started leaking. So I took everything off just to inspect and clean. The ball had some heavy scratches in it and it was original, so I replaced that too. Then I noticed a small drop of water on the shaft of the water valve, but nothing on the floor. Since I knew this was original too, I replaced that too. So for $100 I got a whole lot of peace of mind and a new toilet. Oh, if your Traveler model didn't come with a hand sprayer, I highly reccomend adding one of those, very handy!

Our MH has a Sealand toilet. I replaced the flush valve and vacuum breaker. While I had the toilet out I checked the seal and ball. They looked good, so all I did was clean both of them. The toilet bowl will hold water well over a week without loosing any of it.

I agree on the spray hose. Great for cleaning the toilet and sometimes helping empty the bowl of solids. They're fairly inexpensive, you just need a new vacuum breaker with the extra outlet to attach the hose.
