RV's are like houses - July 2nd

This is the first time I've used my RV for an extended period.  Today I woke up to a wet floor in the bathroom.  This is not good.  I do a little investigating and find that the supply line to the toilet is leaking.  After some googling I learn there is a water valve on the toilet that leaks when it breaks.  I find out the part number and after calling a few places I find there is one available in Bozeman, Mt.  I decide to head there.  It is about an hour from Yellowstone, but has some stores so I can resupply.

I take HWY 89 up to Livingston and then hop on I-90 to head to the RV store.  I get there and they have the part.  I head over to Walmart to get the supplies I need to replace it.  The repair is pretty simple.  Pull the toilet. Pop off the seat. Take off a covering over the valve.  Unscrew and pop out old valve.  It takes about 30 minutes and I hook everything back up.  SUCCESS!

With a working toilet and fresh round of supplies, I head back to my free camping site just oustide Yellowstone.  It's been pretty hot all day and the sun is about to go down.  Time for dinner.
