Hairline crack in toilet bowl

E have a 2013 Itasca Meridian and been on the road since last July. I just discovered a hairline crack in our toilet bowl. Should I be concerned for the bowl breaking. I cant not see the crack on the outside of bowl so i dont think is deep.

If it's under warranty, have them replace it. If not, just buy another. They aren't very expensive. If its cracked inside it will crack and break.

Replace it. It may not be showing on the outside yet but you don't want to be the one sitting on it if/when it goes all the way through and fails completely.

See if it can be replaced under warranty other wise for less than the cost of a tank of fuel or a few pizza takeouts you can replace it yourself.

Hi all, thanks again for your valuable input as always. I replaced the existing bowl (Thedford) with a nice one (Dometic). The new one has a wood seat, bigger and much quiter. It is very close to residential bowl. My extended maintenance covered the cost minus freight (which was nice) as my coach is out of warranty...dance.
