Ya I pulled off a panel wall under the front counter/cupboard area in the kitchen this morning and found the hot water tank. Used a 11/16 inch deep socket on an impact gun to take it out of the end of the tank. You are so right it is a piece of crap check valve, cheap plastic sealing surface. Went to the local plumbing supply company and purchased a new high quality check valve, screwed two short brass nipples into each end and reinstalled.. Had the trailer winterized about 10 minutes later... They sure do buy cheap crap products when sourcing their parts........ 15 yrs ago it was not the issue as we have now with these newer units... They look pretty but the parts they source are cheap Chinese CRAP....... Hence it is a constant source of keeping this retired guy busy doing maintenance anymore.
