On Facebook there is a group called 'Hymer Owners' and they have over a thousand members many of whom past their knowledge on for others. If you Motorhome is not a Hymer, then try searching for the name of your Motorhome manufacturers group. Best info I've had for my MH.
After flush the system must close the hole which lets water into the toilet. If it does not close after flush, it is continuously letting the water thru. Check if it closes after flush and allows tank to fill.
take the back top off of the tank and observe that the flush stop has not released from its upright(flush) possition. If needed , reach in and flip it down to close the valve. If it is a matter of the water running continuously... then you have to open the tank cover and bend the rod that has the bulb on it down just a bit... to close the fill valve.
2 possibilities.1. The water level is set higher the the overflow tube. This will cause the water to run into the overflow continuously. You should be able to see this. 2. The large seal - bottom center of the tank - is leaking. This will cause the water level to slowly drop after a fill. The water tank will start to run again after flushing - BUT NOT CONTINUOUSLY. You should see if there is a small amount of water flowing from the rim to the bowl 15 seconds after the water has stopped running after a flush.
It could be the type of flap you are using. I would suggest you try a different shaped flapper (a cone would work best) and if that doesn't do it, put a new kit into the unit, because it could be that the float system is sticking causing it to continue running.
Lift up the back of your tank on the commode. There is a plastic float inside connected to a metal arm which has a chain connected to your flush handle. The chain probably came off.
I don't know what you mean by "pumping" the tank. If the toilet runs, then either the fill valve is defective or the seal on the flush valve is defective. First, check to see that when you move the float, the toilet stops running. If it does not, then replace the fill valve. If it does, then inspect/replace the seal on the flush mechanism at the bottom of the tank. If this seal is bad, you can usually see water continuously flowing (slowly) into the bowl. You will see ripples on the surface of the water in the bowl.
if it worked fine and now it has stopped....then there is no adjustment that will fix it. If the fill valve is not shutting off you either need to replace the seal in the valve or get a new fill valve. If the water is leaking past the flapper you will need a new flapper.
