New Motorhome Toilet Valve Installed and Roof Update

I installed a new valve for my motorhome's Aqua Magic IV.  The directions didn't state anything about the use of Teflon Tape, nor was there any on the previous valve.  But put some on the new one anyways.

Also, there was a decent rain today.  But the roof seams to have held up?  However, with it parked on bags of gravel, the right side continues to sink.  It's going to need a series of 4 leveling scissor jacks now.

Roof Leak May Be Temporarily Fixed?

I believe I may have stopped the motorhome's roof leaking problems for now. I purchased two additional bags of gravel yesterday. Right now, it's pitched 2° downward towards the back and rolled more than that to the right (again). The next 3 days are looking like they'll be dry, so hopefully I can affect some repairs?

But the lifting of those bags over the past few days has aggravated my back muscle injury some. I've been thinking that it's getting to be about time that I started reporting this to my doctors? With my gym membership and its lower back machine, I hope to be back up and running for the 2020 maintenance season.

Leak in the Overhead Bunk Ceiling

I've got a leak in the overhead bunk ceiling.  I think that either when I was on the roof, or when I moved the motorhome, that the seal on the seam came loose.  I can cover it with a spare tarp that I have and probably get by for a few weeks.

I went to Walmart in Cambridge a few hours ago to try and get a memory foam mattress.  But they didn't have the right size and they wanted $250 for 8 inches.  The master bed only needs 6 inch thick mattress.  So rather than pay $250, I spent $17.99 on some towels.  My plan was to take the overhead cab bunk mattress and move it to the master bed.  But on the way home, I saw that the weather was going to clear up, so I kept it in place, then went on the roof with my hand broom and started sweeping the standing water off of the top.  I waited it out and it looks like it's working.
