No Watts Module anywhere
Ok all my Rv friends. We all know Watts no longer makes their Plumbing Module and hasn't for years. I have been unable to find one either. THAT being said, What is the best alternative to re route or use a different system to connect all the hoses to be able to use... Is there another Rv water "system" other that the Watts module out there that could be modified to use in our Tradewinds? and still be able to use the original panel(?) for hookups and clean out.
I'd appreciate any input anyone has

Alas of that I am not capable.
There are 9 different ports connected to that watts module and would have no idea where to even start. Scares me that it will cost a bundle to pay someone to do it... I don't know any place here in the Wichita Ks area that would either. I did see a manifold at menards and wondered if it would work? i'd have to buy 2 but?? i just don't know what to do

The OP has the older system that had the MODULE manufactured by WATTS, it is a integrated casting and is no longer available. It is not just a 2 or 3 way valve like the newer version.

Yes with 9 ports it can seem daunting. However, if you take your time, tag each line as identified in one of the drawings that onecb posted that matches what yours is and fellow "Bob's water panel" layout you can do it. With PVC you can dry fit everything and change it until it is right before gluing it up. One suggestion I would use clear PVC primer and glue.
