Since the water is leaking inside the bowl, most likely the control valve has gone bad. I just replaced mine on a trip to Canada. The valve was aprox $40.00 and took me about 45 minuets to replace. If you are handy with plumbing is an easy job. Most of these valves cannot be rebuilt. Get the model number off the toilet and go to a RV dealer/parts outfit and they will have the part or can order it. Can go online and find it also. If you need more info just ask.

Default leaky valve

Happened to us on our maiden voyage several years ago. The valve was the culprit and fortunately found one that worked at an RV supply store. It was a snap to replace.
