I had the same issue. I read that if you turn the valve while it still has water pressure against it the o-rings are damaged, which is what I had done.

I heard the same and try to re-position the valve when it is not under pressure. We have had ours since April 2017 and no issues with the valve. Has been repositioned a few times under pressure. I have a spare valve kit in case it does fail. O-rings that are not lubricated do dry out and shrink over time.

Found the part - but they no longer carry it.

333mk

Nice to see so many Avalanche Owners over the years. We picked up our 2019 333MK in Dec. 2019 and been out about 25 some days. We wanted a desk in ours so we got the 333MK. Only problem has been the furnace, and they replaced the control board. We never thought about a fireplace, but in Jan. it was 33 degrees for a few mornings, and the furnace did not work, but the fireplace and the heated recliners kept mom very cosy and happy.

First Avalanche trip

New 2021 Avalanche AC went out on day 2. Got it replaced. The mid bunk room was still hot however. So we cut a small hole in the loft wall and straightened the duck work to the vent. With a hole already cut we were able to move the cable connection and outlet to the center.
Widows leaked on the slide before we left home so we sealed them with silicone caulk.
The 365 MB doesn’t have space for a trash can in the bathroom so we took out the lower panel of the side cabinet and found space there!
What modifications have you done?

We had the same issue in our 390DS. Buy the RV Airflow foam inserts and install them per the instructions. We did and I can’t believe how fast we can cook our rig down now. They work so well all Grand Designs now come installed with them.

I use a flexible bladder I keep in my truck with a 12V pump and just pump using my fresh water hose into the regular tank fill connection. Costs a little money, but sure is a lot less work and frustration if you dry camp a lot.

Buy the RV Airflow foam inserts for your AC units. They work incredibly well and totally get rid of the cooling problem. We installed them in our 390DS and I think it’s one of the best investments I’ve made.

The individual you appear to be replying to has not been on this site for about 2 1/2 years. While we also have an RV Airflow installed, it won't help an air conditioner that isn't working.
