It sort of looks like it serves coffee 
It will be interesting to see what it looks like installed.

I use mine a lot also but since it hasn't broken I haven't upgraded it. This thread made me think though, if it failed while camping and I lost all my water what a pita that would be. I think I'll go upgrade soon just so that never happens.

This valve requires the flange as well. I ordered the flange but then found that the valve referenced in the original post was out of stock, guess too many people read the first post and wanted to do the mod.
Anyway, I searched for another valve with 1/8" MPT threads and found this one as an alternate. I think I'll like it better as the other fitting is a bard so will be easy to attached a small hose. Will post pictures when I install it.

We must have created a run on those valves. I am happy to say that I ordered one and received it two days later. The flange will arrive Wednesday. I am hoping this ill be a simple project.

Just installed mine. Ten minute project including hunting down the tools. Interestingly the hose from the camper wasn't pex. I thought it was all pex but this piece wasn't. Now I just have to hunt down some tubing for it.

Any updates? Happy with that valve? I'm curious if the 90 degree lever is too easy to bump, and therefore risks draining the tank accidentally.This valve requires the flange as well.

I switched from the first valve to the second due to the barbed output. I like it a lot. I don't expect the lever to be something you move accidentally, since it is up against the truck when closed and only sticking outward when open. There is no difference in flow.

I found it at Amazon with 2 day prime shipping here: https://www.amazon.c...BxtL&ref=plSrch
Were you able to find a backing plate for this one on Amazon?
