2002 Newmar Mountain Aire with OEM Power Flush which had been working just fine seems to be plugged. Do I have a back flow valve? If so where? It is not at the fill point in the water connections compartment. I have disassembeled first connection to be sure. I can follow the water line until it is out of site between frame rails. No check valves in site. After that there is no way of knowing. It is out of site. If it is a stuck valve,could it possibly be reached by lifting the toilet?
Any suggestion to confirm there is a valve or not?

I'm not sure if it is not flushing due to lack of power, or being plugged. In my experience, when the power stops, the fuse should be pulled, then put back in. If it's plugged, thats another story.

There is no power (12 volts or 120 volts) involved. If you have very low water pressure the No Fuss Flush will not work right. If the water pressure is OK your backflow valve is stuck. It has to be somewhere in a cabinet just above where you connect the hose. Once you find it, it is simple to unscrew. When you have it in your hand shake it and you should hear the valve rattle. No rattle means it is stuck. You can spary a cleaner in it like a lime cleaner and then flush it out. If it still doens't work take it to Lowe's or Home Depot and buy a new one.

Thanks Guys, Especially Latitude for the picture. "After further review" and a little day lite, I found it under the sink which is on the passenger side beside the washer compartment. The valve was removed and found to be stuck closed. Easy removal. After hooking it up to the outside shower and a little help it opened up. It was reinstalled and back in business. I do have a clear section in my discharge line so I do know the value of the power flush and wouldn't leave home with out it.

On another note, always being skeptical I called Lakeview RV Supply,Texas (googled) which was stamped on the valve. "Tabby", said this #1000 valve would never stick again. "Never" sometimes happens quiet often for me. I did order a spare for $17.00 FOB. Good piece of mind and not much weight to carry around.
