Anyone replaced one on their RV? What was the ballpark cost? Did you do it yourself or get an RV place to do it? Going RVing for the weekend...excited about a short getaway!!!!!

You might check and be sure that the rubber gasket is in it's groove first.

I've repaced some that have taken 10 minutes and some that took 10 hours. Good Luck! John H • View posts Kansas City Mo.

I got new valves, fittings, and large dia. tube at Camping World and replaced everything myself for about $55. B4 I got under there, I took it to a car wash and REALLY washed out that back corner!

Or you may have a bit of trash stuck in the valve's seal groove. That can cause a slow leak that accumulates behind the end cap. The valve is cheap, but the labor if you have to pay to get it replaced could be enough to make you spend a few minutes checking out whether the valve really needs replacing first.
