New Full-Timers! Need help with water supply to toilet
Hello everyone!
My girlfriend and I just bought a 2001 Fleetwood Terry, 31.5 ft.
We have a Nature's Head composting toilet and need to shut off the water that would originally go to the RV toilet. The only thing we want to cut off water to is the RV toilet. It has been removed, and now it is just the white tube that delivers the water supply.
How the heck can I get this done?

1) Best follow that hose to the tee behind it and put a cap (probably PEX tubing) on that
2) Easy- just get a cap and cap off the hose
either way check your big box hardware store for PEX fittings to find the right cap. Just a guess it is probably 1/2 inch. Technically one will be a cap (one for the tubing end) and one a plug (one for the tee)

In case you are not happy with the composting toilet, you might consider putting a valve on the end of the PEX tube...

Hi ! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang!
Congrats on the new rig! If you want to get rid of the tubing then go underneath, pull it through the floor, and cap it off with a PEX fitting.
Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!

THIS^^^^
Go to hardware store and get a 1/2" shutoff valve to install on end of that PEX water line.
Flair-It , Sharkbite, Gatorbite etc.
Simple slip/fit type you just PUSH onto the end of the PEX pipe (end needs to be staright cut/no burrs)
Then get a 1/2" plug to on shutoff so it is leak proof....and available should you change your mind about toilet.

Cap the line so you can go back to normal in the future. Press fittings are easy to use.
Good luck
