Leaking Sealand 711-M28 Toilet

Forums: 

Good morning - I am the new owner of a 2006 16' Scamp with a front bathroom.  I failed to test the plumbing before purchasing, and yesterday hooked it up for the first time.  There are two leaks, which I suspect are from incomplete winterization.

This album shows the leaks (which I think are unrelated): http://imgur.com/a/jTycI

The first picture shows a leak underneath the trailer, it looks like I should be able to disconnect and replace that part if I can identify what it is called.

Stain from water behind spare

Forums: 

I put the accurate description of my problem in the subject line, but I really just wanted to type, "Help!!" I noted this happening this spring, but forgot entirely as the Scamp sat for most of the summer. In getting it polished up for a fall trip, I realized that water had collected behind the spare, along with a good deal of grime. The picture shows it after I took the magic eraser sponge and "Awesome" cleaner to it. I'm afraid it's under the surface for good. (bad)

Another exterior light problem

Forums: 

I just recently found out, thanks to a friend who was following me, that I have a turn signal problem.  They work great all by themselves, but when the brake light is also on, the off-side turn signal also blinks, but alternating and not as bright.  This goes both ways.

I have tested the socket on the TV, and its voltage output is what I would expect.  I would normally expect a ground problem, but for this:  a meter test between the R (brn) and L (red) lines going into the trailer shows continuity.  I don't think it should. Do I have that right?
