Anyone have experience with this?-- When I turn the water pump on my 07 Coachman Cross Country 354MBS water shoots out of the hose hook up. All valves are turned in the correct direction and it works as should when hooked up to water supply or draining. It just will not pressure up when on the road. I assume one of the valves is out but which one?

Thanks in advance for sharing.

tex, glad you got the problem found and fixed. What Dutch said is a great idea, as I have at least 1 spare at all times as the shutoff valves are very handy when connecting to shore hookups.

If reseating the check valve doesn't work, the quick fix is to pickup an in-line hose shut off valve at Walmart or a hardware store and screw it into the city water connection. A screw in hose plug will also work. The permanent fix of course, would be to replace the city water port. They're not expensive, and replacement is a relatively easy DIY job.

My check valve hangs up periodically and does what you are experiencing. I can usually reset it with a screw driver as suggested. However, to prevent that annoyance I put a threaded plastic plug in my city hook-up to prevent it from happening when not hooked up to city water.

Water problem fixed. The washer screen was in backwards depressing the backflow valve. Thanks for the heads up. I hope I can return the favor sometime. Good day.

Thanks for the info. I hope it's that simple. I had no idea there's a check valve. Thanks again for sharing.

X 2 on the inlet check valve. It's a very simple part. You may even be able to coax it into working again.

There is a check valve in the city water hook-up. It is a spring loaded valve, and is probably hung up partly open allowing the pump water to escape the city water hook up. You may try hooking the city water back up and turning it on to see if the valve will reseal. It can be removed from the MH and taken apart and manually resealed. A Phillips screwdriver may also be inserted into the city inlet, and reseated, as the disk is canted.
