Have two issues and could use some advice from those who have dealt with these problems before. In advance, thanks for all your help.

1st problem. By grey valve is stuck open, good news right? I think the cable is either broke or disconnected at the valve. I know the black box cover thing beneath the RV is the area I need to access. What can I expect when I get that cover off? Also, it has 4 hex screws holding it up but two of the screws are covered up by the gas line going to the fridge. Can that gas line be lowered without disconnecting it?

2nd problem. Toilet flapper seal won’t hold water anymore. I have cleaned it a number of times in the past and it resolved the problem, but that doesn’t work anymore. I need to replace the seal. Anyone else out there don this themselves? Do I need to remove the toilet to replace the seal? Any advice or words of wisdom will be welcome.
