We're about to check out our water supply lines on our 77 Kingsley. We have the original hot water tank which seems to be in decent shape. We have removed the heat element and anode and have replacements ready to go into the tank. The water leads going into and coming out of the hot water tank were not in place when we purchased the coach. However there was a check valve attached to the bottom water connection to the tank which we assume to be the cold line. We will either replace the check valve or eliminate it completely if it's not necessary. Would anyone please comment on the check valve, whether it's necessary or not and if there is a better way to hook up the cold and hot lines.

We also noticed there is no shut off for the toilet water supply. What are the thoughts on putting one in the line before reinstalling the toilet. Not worth the effort or a really good idea?

As always, thanks for all your comments and help,


Mickey 1977 Kingsley, 403, Lansing, MI
