I'm just assuming there must be a check valve btw the valve and the hot out for winterizing.

Your water heater has 2 shut-off valves. 1 on cold inlet and 1 on bypass line..therefore there is a check valve in hot outlet connection on water heater tank.
Check valve is installed in lieu of another shut-off valve.....so when water heater is bypassed water does not flow into water heater via hot outlet.
Typically problem with the check valves is clogging/failing and NO hot water.
AS for checking your faucet.......not really. One can replace seals/cartridge IF faucet is rebuildable. Most RV faucets are not.
Replace it with a residential faucet.........Moen, Delta, Price-pfister etc.
