Question:

I have a 2003 Bigfoot 30MH27DSL that the water inlet/ check valve makes a groaning-vibrating sound when not at full flow of two sinks together. You can feel it at the connection. I’m considering replacing the dual inlet. Possibly A01-2004 VP. The dimensions seem correct. Question: Is there a similar dual inlet with brass? Is it possible to just replace city inlet/check with P23402LFVP and keep the rest of the original?

Expert Reply:

We do have the B&B RV Water Center # BM58MR which is similar to the Valterra # A01-2004VP unit you found. It does have the brass check valve on the city water connection.

The Check Valve # P23402LFVP you found is designed to attach in line with 1/2" female and male pipe thread connections. It does not have a method for attaching it to a water inlet door.
