Thetford aqua magic toilet pressure

Curious to why over the last week camping my toilet water pressure in the bowl has slowed up to a trickle , the model I have has a rinser and when I push the pedal the rinser has all kinds of pressure ,just very little from valve to the bowl,I'm assuming that there may be a screen or a piece of debris clogged up that part of the valve.anyone now if there is a quick fix maybe blow out the valve with air,there isn't a ton of room there to work but I can get the supply tube and the tube to the bowl off without taking the whole toilet out ,don't no if I can get the valve out without taking the toilet out.
Any info would be great

Thanks

Warren &Amy

Your best bet is to remove the toilet and work on it, you will have less troubles and won't be working on it upside down. Sounds like some trask got in the end of the valve where water hooks on, you might beable to remove water line and insert a small wire or something to see if you can get it out before removing it

Your toilet has a vacuum breaker that is problematic. Also the tubing that exits the breaker can pull back and leak where it enters* the rim area.
Reach around behind the toilet, there's a void. Feel around to see if it's wet in there. Also check the floor behind the toilet for wet. If the breaker has failed, every time you flush, water will spit out the top of the breaker and/or come out here*.

If you have a leak grab a 1/2" box and a 1/2' deep socket with a long extension. Only 2 nuts, one near the flush pedal and one under the round cap at about 10 o'clock looking at the open bowl. Remove those nuts and undo the water feed, remove the unit to repair.

The hose can be pushed in further, the vac break will need to be replaced.

Having replaced the water valve on my toilet, remove the toilet. There is simply no room to get to the back area where you need access.
