My check valve went out on our trip to Yellowstone last September I pulled it apart. Ran with no guts until I got home. Just cut the pipe. Put a shut off valve in line. Been working great ever since. Thanks from Wisconsin.
We are just in our compartment today too. Our water pump went out. We keep an extra one on hand and swapped it out. And then, of course, we got the dreaded leak at an elbow! 😆
Ours being older, have had to work on the water heater a few times, did the check valve a few years ago, the pressure releif valve the next year, and the pilot light assembly the year after.. Hopefully will be good to go this year. I started keeping a check valve and a few random sharkbite adapters onboard just in case. Our PEX piping has the plastic compression fittings at all the tee's and elbows.. they dont seal up much better.
We switched our over to a on demand furion water heater for this exact reason and organized those hoses when I had it tore apart ! Never run out of hot water again unless the propane runs out first😂😂😂😂
Was happy ours came with the tankless on demand. Seems every youtuber at some point those plastic fittings on the top/bottom of that tank will eventually leak. Good that your top one is changed but i wouldve replaced the bottom one as well with a metal one while you were in there.
That’s a good call. I didn’t even think about it at the time. We just wanted water pressure at that point. 😩 I’ll have to do that next time I’m in there. Thanks for the suggestion!
HI Harold, my friends Momentum looses water pressure in the garage bath and kitchen BUT master bath and shower are fine have you heard of this? any idea? We have a 399th love it have a great day!! THX AW
We had a few instances where pressure would drop but only on the hot side. I would check to see if they have a line that collapsed somewhere. Those are also the farthest water line runs so make sure you have good pressure to start.

Safe travels!
Thank you!

Great job, it’s really good when a plumbing problem is an easy fix 😅
Right! It never is easy with plumbing 😂

RV Life: Always doing some kind of maintenance. :)
I read this and feel like we need to turn it into some kind of acronym for a shirt 😂 so true!
Good info. Probably something I should order and put in my parts box. Might help scare off the problem.
I hope that works! Maybe we should try the same! ☺️
Good job!
Thanks

That’s on our list for an upgrade at some point. Maybe one day! 😣
What size check valve is it i broke mine trying to take it out. Half of it is attached to the watertank the other half broke off
Hey Harold I have the right socket but I’m in Illinois now 😂. Could have used it at the huddle.
No worries. I’ll have one for next time! Thanks for the offer. ☺️
By putting the check valve back in without the spring, what are the dangers of that?
Good video a piece of order another one to have an extra hard water eats those things
Great call! Thanks.

Nice job, Harold. Hope your bolt made it to you.
It did. Thank you!
@1StrangeAdventure awesome. I've been hoping it did. Worried it didn't get lost.
What are they thinking putting the transfer switch under the water lines
🤷♂️ it’s on my list to move everything and redo all the water lines.

Added check valve still no HW pressure trying to flush new tank next fixtures are 2 yrs old ..crazy
Harold buy the socket for the anode rod! WWCD? lol
Haha! I should have thought about that!
So watching the water drain AND now I gotta pee 😂
Haha! Imagine editing that video and watching over and over. 😂
Just an FYI…Don't attach copper or brass directly to steel or the steel will corrode and rust.
Its gotta be the plastic one then?
It’s always something isn’t it. Glad you have hot water again that is no fun !!!
It is but at least we can fix a lot 🤷🏻♀️ I hope y’all are doing well 🤗
We are work camping in Roanoke rapids Nc right now. We are doing great! Miss you guys.
Oh what a pain to get to. Not fun
Not fun at all but it’s done. ☺️
You saved a pile in $$ doing that yourself.
Probably weeks of not having our home as well!
