The valve is located in the water bay behind the water pump.  You might check the check valve on the city water line first.  Percussion adjustment could work if it is just stuck.

You do have the water pump turned off?

Pushing either the momentary contact fill switch in the wet bay or under the sink (that is where mine are) makes a ground connection to the latching relay (latches or unlatches it).  It will clunck either way.  When it is latched the fill valve solenoid gets power from the relay and opens. The indicator lights at each switch also light up when the relay is latched and power is on.

Verify that there is power to the solenoid valve.  Verify that the indicator lamps are on.

The fill solenoid valve is just behind the water pump on my coach.  I think the check valve is near there as well.  It should be before the solenoid valve.

This is a good reason to have a direct fill option.  Consider adding one.  Many of us have.

Joe,
I put a ball valve in to replace mine.  Simple job with pex connectors that unscrew on both ends of the electric valve.
Mine was located behind the 12v water pump.  The rubber bladder on the valve had a small hole in it.

Does anyone know where the check valve is located for the city water? 

With you having a hose reel your back flow preventer could be in the reel where the line from the coach connects to the reel.  Some are hid in the water line behind the fiberglass cover just below where your outside spigot comes through.

If you are getting water in the coach hooked up to city water then the check valve would not be the problem. On some of the solenoid valves there is a star wheel on top that can be turned. Clockwise turns off the water and counterclockwise opens the valve 

Joe, power getting  to the solenoid because it is warm?  Try holding the valve and turn it on and off.  Should be a movement sensation.  The valve is probably toast.  If you are getting city water then I agree, the check valve is not likely the issue.

Here is a stainless steel valve.

If you use a brass valve be sure it is suitable for drinking water.

Here is a motorized ball valve that only uses power to open and close.

Once you determine if water is getting past your back flow preventer then the next thing in line is your fill valve.  The fill valve could have some trash in the diaphragm area or the orifice.  If you have to remove and clean the valve there is a thread with pics. as to what is ahead for you. Check the voltage to the coil even though you think that you feel it working.  If the coil proves to be good then it is most likely trash inside the valve.
