I assume (and believe someone told me last year) that there is a one way valve that's supposed to prevent this however I haven't been able to pinpoint where it is. I'm going by 76.18 and 76.21 in my Bentley. It appears to be a few inches down the the faucet on one of the water lines, is that the correct place for me to look? I don't see anything there in my camper, the small grey hose is unbroken and the larger hose doesn't have anything other than the clamp holding it to the faucet.

I know others have eliminated the city water and I assume it's not difficult. We're getting ready for a trip down to N.C. and this is the last thing I need to resolve (hoping to stop in @ Everybus a week Thurs before we head home too).
