vacuum toilet system

[Jacy]

Hi, I bought a new Pace Arror end of Oct. The vacuum toilet leaked onto the floor, took about 10 times back to the dealer to get a new toilet as mine had a small crack and would only leak about every 3-5 flushes so dealer could never find anything wrong. (told me it was our bad aim). Finally tech found a crak and new toilet installed. Now have terrible odor. Dealer says nothing wrong with the toilet system. Dealer checked vents, etc. but says problem is mine. Fleetwood is looking into it but this has been a nightmare for 6 mos. Any suggestions in getting help. I am ready to call an attorney. Have had it into dealer a total of 20 times.

Jacy, welcome to iRV2.com. Sorry to hear of the problems on the new coach. If the dealer is correct and there is no problem with the toilet system be sure to check the grey waste system as it can smeel even worse than the black. Check vaccum breakers on drains under sinks and washer plumbing if you have it.
IF the dealer is wrong then they should find and repair it. To eleminate the toilet system, a solid sealed plate can be installed over the toilt drain. If the odor goes away, guess what, it is the toilet of the installation of the toilet causing the odor problem. Good luck and keep us posted.

If you can smell it there is a problem. Sometimes they find the problem and sometimes they don't. Hopefully you can get it fixed soon.

Jacy, I also have a Pace Arrow with a vacuum toilet. I do not have any problem with odors or leaks but the flushing procedure is driving us nuts. The sound it makes is ridiculous. This toilet has more moving parts than we need...something else to maintain..a vacuum pump. I hate to see the day when the vacuum pump goes bad and has to be replaced. Good luck.
