Hi folks... The subject line says most of it. Here are the details. I have a Thetford Bravura pedal flush permanent toilet in my '60 Mobile Scout 16. For the past year or so there has been a leak. I've looked closely at the water module/valve that receives and distributes the water into the bowl. I'm quite sure that that likely device is not leaking, nor are the 2 tubes that connect to it with barbed connection. The water appears on the floor and is fresh water and not water from within the bowl. So, I do not believe the floor flange is compromised. When I press the pedal, I'm seeing water dribbling down from above the pedal (and out of sight because of the cowling of the outer shell of the bowl). I have not found the way to remove that outer shell of the bowl, so I can see what is going on... I suspect that the fresh water that is sent around the rim of the bowl and slides down the inner bowl for flushing purposes may be somehow being allowed out of that track, and running down the inside of the outer bowl shell... then onto the floor. Does anyone know of the way to remove that outer plastic bowl shell, so I can get a clear view of what is going on underneath? Thanks! If it becomes necessary to remove the entire toilet unit from the flange so that I can work on it, I'll ask questions about that, at that time

It's been several years since I've worked on a Bravura but: I'm pretty sure you will have to pull the toilet and do a bench test to discover the problem. The bottom cover piece should have two plastic clips toward the back. Push in on both sides and slide it forward. You will have access to the toilet bolts at that point. If I remember correctly, the top shell won't come off while the toilet is mounted. 4 screws or bolts hold that piece on.
Once on the bench, you should be able to figure out where the water is coming from. Keep us in the loop.
