How to get water to the toliet!

We recently picked up our 1979 33ft Foretravel and have been cleaning it after sitting for two years. The past owners (we are the 3rd owners) winterized it. We have figured out all but how to get water to the toliet!  Any help would be appreciated. Also some of the sliding doors don't want to slide. Have a fix for that?  My husband has taken them apart but they still stick! The worst are above the kitchen area. Once we get her cleaned a bit we will post some pics.

Sometimes spray silicone will help the sliding doors. Have you tried removing the water line at the toilet to check if there is water there?

The tambour doors slide back into a plastic housing.  If this housing is cracked, distorted or otherwise damaged the door will not slide into it.  It is a b.... of a job to remove the plastic housing due to lack of working space.  I would first try some DRY SILICONE lube on the upper and lower edges of the door, if that does not work you will have to remove them to inspect.  Unless ENCORE RV has some of these they are no longer available.

Used to use a wax candle in the tambour track cut to fit.
