Toilet valve leak - emergency shut off?

I have a 2013 Thor Hurricane 30' MH. It has a Thetford toilet (Model ???). The valve in back leaks. (I woke up two mornings ago to a flooded toilet and bathroom floor!). I finally got the valve off the back (hope I can get a new one on!). I could see where the leak was - a pinhole) but can't fix it.

This is my dilemma - How do I shut off the flow to the toilet? I can't use any water in the RV because it just shoots out of the hose feeding the toilet. I need to wash up after having my hands and head around the base of the toilet!

Any ideas?

Thanks
Mike

Turn off water supply to the RV to work on the toilet & add a valve to the toilet supply before turning the rv supply back on.
While your at it toss out the Thetford POS toilet & replace with a Dometic brand.

Mike: I would try shut off valve and I have had great experience with sharkbite to repair damaged sections of pex pipe and also works on any type of pipe.
Good luck
