        There is a noise when any water is being used. I believe it’s coming from behind where one would hook up the outside water source to the 5th wheel. By the looks of things, there is some sort of valve there and I believe thats where the noise is coming from. Does any one know anything about this? Thanks.

        There are three check valves in the fresh water system; one at the city water inlet (to prevent pump pressure from forcing water out the entry), one at the outlet of the water pump (to prevent city pressure from backing through the pump and filling the water tank and one at the cold inlet to the water heater. The noise might be coming from a bad check valve.

        Do you have the same noise if you use the water pump?

        The noise is there when I put the pump on. I believe its the city inlet valve. When I get back into civilization, I will replace it. Thank you for all your info. Dan
