check valves

I have a 2004 winnebago Journey 36G. I have replaced the check valve behind the water hearer a couple of time. Today while unwinterizing all was going well after flushing the water heater and lines. While doing the sanitizing, the hot water taps began to flow slower and slower and finally barely a trickle. Well as in the past the check valve went south so I changed it--old one was fine and still have same problem on no flow or very little flow out of the hot water taps at all locations. Is there another check valve in another location--ie behind the city water fill panel??? Any and all thoughts are appreciated. Tom

There is another check valve. At least there is on my Journey. Check the pluming diagram from Winnebago. I had to remove the metal panel that held the city water inlet and other valves. It was a long reach to get to it. I first called Winnebago service. They were most helpful.

fill valves are positioned correctly but not sure how to check the mixing valves on the ourside shower. There is a bit more pressure at the hot water valve on the outside shower but not as much as the cold side.

Check the mixing valves for the outside shower if equipped?
Check the positions of the fill valves.
