Black tank check valve

My black tank check valve on my black tank flush was sticking so when I took the Monty in for the new breaker I had them work on the check valve. Keystone refused to cover the check valve under warranty. They said the check valve is a "customer service item". My question at the rally this fall is going to be. If you put a part on that every RV tech at any dealer will tell you is a piece of crap and then hide it so no one can find it, how in the world can it be a customer maintenance item? Also, where in the manual is check valve maintenance discussed?

I can't help wondering if Keystone told you that or the dealer.

Had to be Keystone. Keystone approved the 80amp breaker at the same time. The service writer at Camping World was at a loss to explain how they could approve one and turn down the other. Since I use a metal back flow preventer on the hose I use to back flush with I just had them take the plastic piece of junk out.

I assume you are talking about the valve that will leak if it fails. Mine was covered under warranty.

Mine didn't leak, it just wouldn't let water in.
