If your LD is a different floorplan, the valve may be elsewhere.Andy BairdTravels with Andy

I finally got it open to get water to the cooler But the valve leaks so will need service or replacement.I hope this is helpful.-Bill

It's also possible to get new packing for the valve gland. Usually it's just a bit of graphite coated string available at any hardware store.bumper
