Water check valve

The city water inlet has a check-valve on our class A coach which is now growling every time we turn the taps on. Has anyone had this problem?

The water inlet is easy to replace. The better ones are brass.

My check valve kept leaking when the pump was on. I found this valve at a local hardware store. It does exactly what I need and the cap still fits it.

Mine was growling also. Just replaced it with all brass unit from amazon. Now I have better pressure and no noise

I got rid of that cheap little check valve years ago and added a fitting with a manual shut-off. In fact, my water inlet has: shut-off fitting; pressure gauge; quick disconnect.

Only drawback is if the park water pressure fails I need to go out and manually shut the valve before turning on the pump. Otherwise works great and no more leakage when not connected.
