Low flushing water pressure

Dunno if you’re facing this problem, but it’s sure been fixed for me. Ever since we picked up our 2017 17B it’s had very low water flow when flushing, whether on pump or on shore pressure. Never could figure this one out.

Just yesterday, I had the toilet serviced to repair a leaky flushing valve and asked the tech what’s up with the flushing pressure?He pointed out a pretty severe cramp in the hose line feeding the flushing valve. The line was effectively too long, forcing a crimp (wish I had taken a photo to include here). Since he was in there, he said he’d shorten it slightly and insert a 90° elbow with clamps on either limb to effectively remove the crimp.

Toilet functioning like new.
