Thanks Stephen, I will think about how to connect it, could be a useful mod. We think we are the only 179 in Australia so the forum really helps with ideas Smile

Australian models may have some differences from US models. Ours is a 2016 model, but it was not something that was "new for 2016" as far as I can recall.

Our 179 has one. The hose connection is on the side near the door above the fender. The vacuum break/check valve is in the bathroom area, under the sink.

does a 179 have a black tank rinse hose/valve sounds like a good idea?

" Does anyone know if these valves were being installed in 2013 models?"

I have a 2012 trailer and what you call flow control I call a vacuum breaker/check valve it’s a backflow preventer. It is required as a safety device that prevents the potable/drinkable water in your home or campground from getting contaminated. I found out 2 weeks ago mine was leaking. The easiest way for me to get at it was to pop the wall off by the bed. The wall is only stapled on and so was very easy to pry off. I did not remove the whole wall just enough to reach the valve and tighten the loose hose fitting going into it. There is a small access plate on the bedroom wall so you can access the fittings going to the sink. If you have a mirror you can stick it in that space and look down at the black plastic square thing with a hose going into the bottom and a hose coming out of the side. See the picture at the top of the post by “gnawed”

Hey,
My first post. Very good article. I'm learning a lot about rv specific plumbing. Learning about pex plumbing. Only had a few encounters with those miserable clamps in past. Did not like them then. Like them even less now. Anyway, in your post, you mentioned a "flow control valve". I have a 2013, 178 pod that I have been working on faucet leak under the kitchen sink. I found the black water rinse hose in my travels but did not see anything like a flow control valve (one way check valve?). Does anyone know if these valves were being installed in 2013 models?
Thanks, rGod.

Stuff being wet once or twice isn't an issue.. it's long term that becomes a problem with most materials.
