I"m from N/E Texas area. Recently purchased a 2001 Dutch Star, and just returned from Tahlequah, Okla. where we enjoyed the Cherokee Nation Holiday.
Now, just before we left, I checked out the coach...got her loaded down, and wanted to hook it up to city water. I hooked the hose up...and, nothing happened. I thought, "well, there's got to be a valve somewhere". So, I started looking, and finally found it. I remember that when I located this small 'stick' valve, when i moved the handle to the horizontal position, the water rushed in and...WALAH!!!! CITY WATER. So, I get up to Ft. Gibson, where we stayed, and turned the pump on for on board water. I heard the pump come on, but no water. Now, two weeks ago, I turned 62...I still have my faculties about me...still pretty sharp for an old fart...but, I have looked EVERYWHERE I CAN THINK in an attempt to locate that little valve. IT HAS DISAPPEARED...I CAN'T FIND IT!!!!! I, my wife, my nieces husband and son have looked everywhere...I called Newmar...they tell me it's located in the 'wet bay' with everything else. REALLY? The black water tank and the grey water tank...THAT'S IT. Nothing is marked except those two items. There are no valves in that bay at all. The only valves are located in the last compartment, but they appear to be drainage lines.
There is no outside hose, or anything else that I can locate. I'm going nuts!!!! WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
