Getting ready to head for Bears Ears for our first trip of the season, and looks like we may be going with bottled water. After filling the water tank and turning on the pump, I can't pressurize the system because water just pumps out of the city-water inlet on the outside of the camper.
Last fall I winterized the camper by draining the water system at every available outlet and blowing out the system with an air compressor attached to the city water inlet. I'm pretty sure I had the faucet open when I started the air, but if I didn't then that might be how I messed up and broke the check valve. At any rate, I'm assuming the check valve is bad now and needs to be replaced.
Where is it? The camper is a 2017 Fleet (front dinette). Inside the cabinet, I can see where the city-water line Ts into the outlet from the water pump before that line enters a manifold. I can't see anywhere I check valve might be located, however. I've attached a photo where you can see the entire city water line from its attachment on the side of the camper to where it Ts into the pump outlet line on its way into the manifold. The second photo shows the water pump. The outlet line is on the left side and flows directly to the T fitting with the city water line in the first picture. I'm obviously missing something, and probably something obvious, but I can't figure out where that valve is!
