It happened to us in the middle of last winter and I thought we'd frozen a water line until someone on this forum said to check that valve. It's actually screwed into the water heater. The line is then screwed into it. The part cost me about five bucks at a local rv dealer and a few minutes to change it. It was in the top water line. That's, what, the inlet line?

Thanks for bringing it up, Jim. I'm sure many people are unaware of this checkvalve. I sure didn't know about it until it died.

See another Montana or Mountaineer on the road? Flash lights twice, it might be one of us!
