Fresh water fill valve leaking

My Normal/Fill valve has started leaking out the back when filling the fresh water tank. Has anyone replaced this? I tried to find one on line without success. Does anyone have a source? I emailed my dealer to see if they have one, closed till Monday.
Looking at it I can't figure how the handle comes off to remove it from the back. I don't see a set screw. Probably it's just pushed on but tugging on it won't budge it. Don't want to break it as I can still camp as it is now.

Is the valve leaking or one of the lines. if its a line, a new clamp my fix. Home Depot or Lowes will need crimping tool.

It's the valve that's leaking. you can see a drop of water in the picture. It leaks slowly when not filling and pretty good when filling.

you can also try re-crimping the line if the crimper will fit

Looks like they have what I need. I would need the extension handle which they sell. I'm still concerned how the handle is removed and the new one installed. Anybody have experience with that?

I ordered the valve from Trekwood. They actually get them from Keystone. Found the handle is pressed on. There is an ident in the handle and nub on the valve shaft that holds it on. The problem I had with the valve leaking was just a bad o-ring, there are two in the valve. Unfortunately I had already removed the valve and damaged it before I discovered that. I bypassed the valve with an elbow so I can use the campground water. I can use the on board pump but had to plug the tank fill line as it was alternately sucking air and spitting water.
