No, I don't plan to replace the old piece. If the dealer supplies me with a new one under warranty, I'll put it on should I sell the trailer. But at this point I do not plan on getting rid of this trailer.
For one thing, I can't trade trailers every 2-3 years like some folks do. For another thing, this trailer suits us both quite fine. At the recent RV show, I saw no floor plan that I'd even think about trading my current trailer for.
If I should sell it before it's time, I'll instruct the buyer on what he needs to do, and since I'll be getting out of the RV lifestyle when I sell it, I'll throw in the non potable water hose with the back flow preventer.

A few answers or explanations.
1) I plan on getting a black flow preventer for my hose I used when dumping the black tank.
2) It sounds like some, if not most on here, believe I keep a hose hooked between the spigot at the camp site and the black tank flush system all the time. Never the case. I hook it up when I need to flush the tank.
3) It also sounds like some if not most here think I have a full black tank when hooked up. Not so. I dump the black tank, then hook up the hose to the flush system, and turn it on. I let it spray and dump at the same time, so there is no way "stuff" from the black tank can enter into the hose.
4) There is a vertical run of at least 3 feet before the black flush piping exits the rear of the trailer. The black flush connection on the rear of the trailer is nearly 4 feet above the ground.
So are you going to install the proper back check before you sell or trade your unit?
YOU may know how to avoid a SERIOUS problem but the next guy may not and that effects ALL of us.
