It is wonderful to live with your own plumber and that is what I told him.
Not to toot my own horn too much but I got major props from the wife recently over something similar.

We took our oldest (special needs) grandson camping in Tennessee last month, it was the first time we'd taken the camper out this year. When we arrived at the campsite and hooked up our utilities we discovered a huge leak in our toilet causing water to spray all over the bathroom. A quick inspection revealed that a water supply regulator located at the rear base of the toilet had failed due to my incomplete winterization of the unit before placing it into winter storage. I did a quick Google search of Camping World locations and found one about a 40 minute drive from our campsite, called them to see if they had the part in stock and found they did have one, just one. Jumped in the truck and got to the store 15 minutes before closing, secured the part and rushed back to the camper. Had to completely remove the toilet in order to get access to the bad part which then took less than 5 minutes to replace before re-installing the toilet and turning the water back on.

Received major praise from both wife and grandson who were both fidgeting and anxious to try out a working toilet, although I'm still getting reminders from the wife to make sure I do a better job of winterizing later this year.

Oh the pressure!
