Yes, the pump was running (did get a workout!). Looks like the valve had sprung a leak. Didn't overflow the toilet since the leak was on the back of the toilet, with water running to the floor then down the shower drain. Got the parts, now out to fix it.

Cool, yeah pump had to be running, great sign of leak. Good video on YouTube of how to replace valve without removing toilet.

Funny thing is the pump in my 179 is dead quiet - used to noisier pump so I didn't hear it or I would have immediately known something was up. Pulled the toilet to get to it (not hard to do) as I can't imagine getting my big hands back there to work on it.....

:) - Interesting - I had to change my pump recently and was surprised at how quiet my new pump is. Things are looking up. See if it gets louder when leak is fixed.

Jato, my new pump was a SHURFLo 4008 101 E65 3.0 Evolution, I bought mine on sale at Camping World but Amazon has them. It's been awhile.
