Anyone have a recent model coach with Headhunter Royal Flush. Ours doesn't want to work very well. We have tried everything. Turned the little hidden value behind the seat. Doesn't get any better when connected to domestic water supply so it appears like a water restriction somewhere in the system. The MFG says to clean the filter on the water supply side. We would do it if we could find it. Anybody have any ideas? Or a similar problem?

Check to see if the water regulator is not turned down to far. It is in the plumbing bay behind the access panel bottom left corner. Also check the water filter. Best to chang that. It is in the bay just in front of the plumbing bay on right side access panel.

Ours works fine but you might check the following. Under the linen closet/pantry behind the two drawers is a large water pressure tank.
I think that tank needs to be pressurized for the toilet to work properly. The tank also has a pressure guage and what to me looks like valves to take the tank out of line to winterize. I'd check those valves to make sure the tank is pressurizing. One way to tell would be to flush the toilet using the water pump. The pump should run for quite a while after you flush as it refills that tank. If the pump stops running shortly after flushing it could mean that tank is disabled. To access the tank and valves, open the access cover on the bottom shelf of the linen closet and remove the two drawers that are underneath the linen closet.

I'm just guessing here but it might be your problem as our toilet flushes well even with poor water pressure.

Thanks everyone.. Bob, your suggestion makes sense. The pump does not keep running after the flush cycle, so I think you may have directed me to the problem/solution.
