You should let us know what unit your hot water tank is in. My check valve that went bad was on top of the tank accessed by removing an inspection door, and then after taking the water line off we used a socket to remove the valve.

Hello billylee61 and We are glad to have you join us here and we look forward to reading of your adventures and experiences. I am sure you will enjoy the website and forums. Good luck and keep us posted.
The check valve(s) is on the back of the tank. As mentioned by stern, you should have some way to access this area. To be more helpful, we need to know the year, make and model of the coach. You could include this info in your user signature by clicking on the "User CP" button and clicking on "edit signature" button.

I found the culprit. I took the check valve out, located in compartment under fridge. The valve was like new, so I went to bathroom and took the strainer off faucet in sink and it had crud in it. I took the shower valves apart and got to hot water strainer, and it was plugged. I closedshower door and turned shore water on and let it run for a minute. I reassembled everything and, alas hot water flow. Well sometimes things are elementary. Thanks for trying to help. Buy the way I have a 1997 winnebago adventurer, 34 ft class a.
