2005 Patriot Thunder Water Fill Inop

<< < (2/2)

A nice feature of the US Solid valve is that it is a rotating ball valve, which is therefore unaffected by water pressure.  Plus, it's about one-fifth the price of a Red Hat on Amazon.

I have read here on the forum that on many coaches, the freshwater fill valve is connected to the Aladdin system. I guess that the connection is to automatically close the fill valve when the freshwater tank reaches 100% full.  Our coach does not have that feature.

Our coach has two water fill switches - one in the exterior water bay and the other under the kitchen countertop.  The kitchen countertop switch has been disconnected.  We have not figured out where it's disconnected but we haven't looked too hard for it.  I suppose it's disconnected at the latching relay... wherever it is located.

On ours the only auto fill switch is in the wet bay.  If it isn’t working we are reduced to the open air fill.  I replace the red hat in our 02 and then this coach right after.  The only time it has not worked is when I forgot the pressure regulator.  When it is filling the
Aladdin says AF .  That seems to support the tie to the Aladdin you mention. 
Often have wished we had an inside shut off switch.
