Toilet Bowl Is Very Very Slow to FIll...
Hi Guys,
I've got a real doozy of a problem here. Headed out on a cross-country trip to Florida (currently in Wyoming) I just started to notice that the toilet bowl doesn't fill up nearly as fast as it once did. As a matter of fact it is extremely slow to fill. All of the other water outlets work normally at normal pressure. Only the water flow to the toilet bowl is compromised.
CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME AN IDEA WHAT'S WRONG? I'm about to drive myself crazy trying to figure this out. In a Montana Mountaineer PHT-242 5th wheel with a family of 6; I am filling the bowl manually with a little bucket as a work-around until I can get this all figured out.
Any ideas what might be wrong here guys? I've checked my external water filter and pressure regulators as all is normal.
Your Thoughts?????

Trash in the water valve on the toilet. Unhook the water line, take a mirror and look into the valve first.
BTW.. Where in Wyoming?

We're at the KOA in Rock Springs Wyoming......
Thanks so much for the EXCELLENT ADVICE!! 
I went outside, turned the water off and started to explore the valve as per your advice............CALCIUM/HARD WATER deposits everywhere!!! 
Got it all cleaned out and put her back together; turned the water back on and now she works as good as new. 
A properly functioning toilet for a family of 6 is a very good thing with 2,000-plus miles still in front of us!! May God richly bless you in the days ahead for being such a blessing to us!!
Thanks Again,
Regards

Time to take a serious look at a water softener.

Only one toilet with 6 people is enough of a problem, glad you got it fixed.

Can you give me some additional info about the portable system that you have? I'd love to go out and get me one!
Thanks
