I've got to take part of the blame for this one. I was assured by several people that the dometic 300 was a plug and play replacement for my unit but the supply line faces the rear as opposed to the side like the old one and even with the shallowest elbow I could find it still tweaks the valve assembly on a rear bulkhead when in use. I thought I shaved enough off the bulkhead but apparently not. More exacto knife required.
Change the stiff PEX supply line to flexible plastic line with braided stainless steel..
Thanks but no. The problem is the dometic supply points directly at the bulkhead wall and there isn't room to put a standard elbow on it nor the ss line without it rubbing against the wall and constant pressure being applied to the valve assembly which, over time, causes it to leak. I solved it by attaching an elbow directly to the supply line and screwing that elbow into the valve assembly BEFORE snapping the assembly into to the toilet.
