I need a new water fill cap for the fill that is over the propane tank on the right (stbd) side rear. The existing cap is failing due to corrosion.
This coach is set up with everything to lock because PO used to go to Mexico. I currently have a locking cap that looks a lot like the fuel fill, but I am not sure if it is identical. It has no part number that I can read. My fuel fill has a locking cap too, so even if I try it on, I still don't know what I have as it is also unmarked. I am not all sure it is the part from the interchange book.
I don't think I need a locking water fill in Michigan so I would like one that was not.
Thanks

Matt, I have the fill from my '74 loose at the moment. I could take it to
the NAPA in Troy on Monday and ask them to find a cap. They had a good
collection of STANT caps several years ago when I needed fuel caps
(different each tank) for my '76 W********.

Matt,
No Joy at NAPA... we are not surprised. They have even less old stock than
before, despite having a 30% increase in stock space. They are intent on
making a profit.
Who can blame them.

Matt,
The water fill cap on my 73 reads "Push down Do not turn"
no manufacturer but is marked, Vented, xo-1906 -- the 6 is not too clear but is my best guess.

Matt, do you have the fill inlet that you just stick the end of a hose into
to fill your fresh water tank, or the Garden Hose female fitting like the
city water should have? There are available different styles of each one
thet are accessed behind locked doors. Most of them will interchange with
what GMC used with minimal cutting involved. Three sources that I know of
are Jim K., RV Parts Outlet, and PPL Motorhomes. There are probably many
more that I am not aware of, also.

Jim,
I actually have both.
The city water connection is on the port (left) side under a locked door along with the 50 amp boal restricter. I have added a valve so I can fill the tank from city water if I get a dedicated connection. That is the commonly available fitting.
Then, on the starboard aft, in the same locker as the propane tank, is a very large (like 2") pipe that leads straight into the potable tank. That is the one that I am looking for a replacement cap to close. It is very reminiscent of a fuel fill (which may explain the locking cap). I really need a new cap and do not want a locking one because it is just another PITA I don't need.

Isn't the cap required to be in place for the pump to do its thing?

Matt,
I took my old cap to Autozone today -- no luck finding a replacement, but I did not get through all the available caps.
Locking cap 5771 was the closest in style -- but slightly too small diameter.

Matt,
on my '73, the only one I have that came outfitted like yours, I figured it would be better if it did NOT look like a gas cap... just to reduce the possibility of a mistake at these Oregon gas stations. (No self service allowed by law.)
I replaced the hose from the tank as it didn't look very clean inside. While doing that I added some parts from Home Depot. It now has a hose connection and a valve.
I am fairly sure you could find something that meets your needs at any home improvement store.
OBTW: it gets VERY dusty inside that compartment. Keep the input to your clean water tank sealed if you want ti to remain clean.

It seems that my pump requires it to be fastened down to function.
Try an RV supply store for a replacement.

I had the same problem so when I read this post I wanted to find the right cap and replace my old one but no one seems to come up with the right cap. So, I took my old cap to the local auto parts store and in less than a minute the guy handed me two caps, one that locks and one that does not. No problem.
The non-locking cap is brand named MotoRad MGC-23 and the locking cap is MGC-91. MotoRad should cross-reference to other brands. Anyway now you know that it is readily available if you talk with the right parts guy.

Your system should need the cap on only if you have a pressurized system
- an air pump pressurizing a metal water tank rather than a water pump
drawing the water out. The last one of those I saw was in a 1962 Sliver
Streak Travel Trailer.

There are available different styles of each one thet are accessed behind locked doors. Most of them will interchange with what GMC used with minimal cutting involved. Three sources that I know of are Jim K., RV Parts Outlet, and PPL Motorhomes. There are probably many

That is the one that I am looking for a replacement cap to close. It is very reminiscent of a fuel fill (which may explain the locking cap). I really need a new cap and do not want a locking one because it is just another PITA I don't need.
