2021 Solitude 378MBS - P4 Nautilus Check Value issue

[SStrunk]

On our first trip out, went to put water into the fresh tank. That worked. All attempts to consume water from the Fresh tank with the P4 set to Dry Camping ended with water coming out the Water Intake. I see several comments about 'not pressing the check valve' which I am sure I have not done. I assume the purpose of the check valve is to prevent the pressurized water from coming back out the intake. How can I tell if I have a faulty check valve or that someone at the dealership may have pushed it in when they delivered the winterized unit? Actually, now that I type, I realized I had water coming out of the intake when I first disconnected from city water too. Is there a way to reset the check valve?

Welcome SStrunk. I had a check valve fail also. If you call GDRV customer service at 574-825-9679 and give them your VIN, they'll probably send you a new one. They are very easy to change. In the mean time, you can make a temporary repair by installing a male plug in the water intake. Something similar to this will work:

SStrunk Welcome to the forum and the family.

If GDRV doesn't have a valve to send you, there are a couple of other alternatives.

1. Contact B and B Molders who manufacture the check valve. Their number is 574-259-7838. When mine failed a couple of years ago, the sent me two at no charge.
2. Send me a PM with your address and I'll ship you a replacement. I have several on hand and wouldn't mind sending you one.

Thank you Jim. I appreciate both the response and your offer. I'll call GD first and then B and B if GD cannot help.

Happy Camping
