Apparently my electrically operated fresh water valve is sticking and will not allow me to fill the water tank. I have read before here on the forum that often a bit of a rap on the valve will jostle it free. My question is, "Where is the servo valve located on my 1999 U320?" I looked behind the panel in the street side water bay but it appears that the water line runs directly from the hose reel to the other side of the coach. I looked behind the panel that covers the water manifold on the curb side but do not see it there. Actually I do not know exactly what I am looking for but assumed I would recognize it whenever I saw it.
Have run out of water and it is cold outside so any help would be appreciated. Thanks
It's on the curb side where the water pump is.
Thanks Craneman, I was looking right at it and didn't recognize it.
Richard,
Here is a link to a post that will help you identify what you are looking for and what you need to do to open it up if a repair is needed. Water Fill Valve Issues (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=32695.msg293916#msg293916)

Richard,
You may also need to check your water fill solenoid as it may be stuck or dead. Here is a resent thread that deals with that issue read through this for some good info on repairs Water Fill Solenoid relay (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=33152.0)

Next question: Should the metal peg pop up when the servo is activated? I checked and am getting good 12 volts to the servo when the water fill switch is activated but I still cannot get water to flow into the tank.
Are you referring to something on the fill valve? There should be nothing on the fill valve that moves to indicate that it is open. If you have an indicator on your fill valve you may have one of the new style valves that has been installed that is used on newer model coaches.

Problem solved, life is good again. I removed the valve from the system, disassembled and cleaned it thoroughly and put it back together again. Thanks again for all the help on the forum.
