I have a 2000 Winnebago Minnie Winnie. I am looking at the City Water Connection photo on page 7-2 in the owners manual. My problem is a leak from this connection, but I am not hooked up to city water. I am getting my water by running my pump from the fresh water connection. Inside the City Water Connection is a plunger that appears to be leaking. Is this a repairable situtation by removing and fixing or does the plunger valve piece need to be replaced?

Hope it OK to post link to another RV forum. I found this through a google search for "repair rv water check valve"Repair check-valve

A new check valve is pretty cheap. With the water turned off, go inside and remove the water line from the city water connection, punch out the old check valve pieces, and screw a brand new brass check valve on the inside and reattach the water line you took off earlier.

Best answer is probably to replace the check valve. It is a very simple fix and probably $25 or less for the part.

Easiest fix its to replace the whole inlet. 3 screws on the outside, unscrew from the inside, and replace with a new one. 20 bucks or so. The o ring has been unseated, and you can get it back in, but I've not had much luck doing so.

I did fix mine once after pressing it to get antifreeze into the valve. I had the system under pressure, and the O ring went out of it's socket.It was finicky, and I think a new one if it's close by would be a better solution.

That's what I use as a permanent fix, my water supply hookup is inside a compartment so its not seen, works great, easy cheap fix..
