Flapper doesn't seal toilet
All of a sudden, the flapper in the toilet will not seal any water? I have tried to twist it straight as it is crooked now instead of sealing, there's a little space on one side, so it's now crooked. How do I get it to seal again?? Anyone know?

Thetford or Dometic toilet? I don't have the manual here in front of me for either. I just got a Dometic 320 and recall seeing in middle of the manual that the seal can be replaced by reaching through the trap door. http://manuals.dometic.com/download.php?file=1802
On a thetford you need to remove the bowl from the base to access the seal.

There is a seal that can be replaced under the bowl. It is a wear item and goes every few years depending on use faster. Amazon sells them

no such pages in my GD manual I think it's a Dometic but not sure how to level the flush ball? It's crooked and that's why it won't seal, seals are good..

There is no obvious wear on the seal when it fails. If the ball is crooked you should be able to take the bowl off (disconnect water from behind) and fix it. Everything sits under the bowl and has easy access / fixable. Most likely when water is no longer holding, it is the seal. When you have the bowl off change it anyway, I've never had the plastic part fail but anything is possible.

OK I took a flashlight and looked on the back of the toilet and it is a Thetford model 190404-42070-7628. I called a repair guy who told me it may be under warranty as it didn't sound like a seal but a dysfunctional pedal.
