Anything this model typically has issues with in the past? Looking forward to this purchase! Thanks…..
Nothing is really unique about each model. They basically have all the same componentsAnything this model typically has issues with in the past? Looking forward to this purchase! Thanks…..
If you actually looked at how many Schwintek slides are used across the industry you would see that it is NOT that common to have failuresWe have a 2023 22MLE and just liked the floor plan. Weren't crazy about the curtain so we replaced with 2 curtains (one on each side) heavier and light blocking. Ours has the tankless WH which we also a little concern with, but it's worked out ok. One of the main things to be aware of, on this model and many others, is the Schwintek slide. We almost didn't purchase after researching all the issues that that system has had. Overall the build quality seems pretty good, we've done several other mods,
which you kind of do no matter what you buy it seems..........
Just curious why you didn't replace the vacuum breaker, instead of installing a check valve. I don't think their functions are identical.We’re sitting in ours as I write this. We have had very good luck with ours.
The standard flex pipe in the bathroom, under the sink leak.
A gas valve leak on the center burner which I repaired myself.
The “back flow” device in the black tank flush line failed. I just removed it and use a check valve at the supply connection.
Other than that, the model has been very sound. Easy to tow and a great couples trailer for those who do not want a big rig. A studio apartment on wheels.
Good luck!
That ‘plastic device that was under the sink’ is probably an AAV, not a vacuum breaker.it seems to do the same thing as that plastic device that was under the sink. Oh and ours had a baggie zip tied around it from the factory. Not sure what that added to the functionality. I do know the stink is gone and the sprayer is a positive function.
Thank you for the enlightenment. But it does show that it's not really semantics, the vacuum breaker really isn't a check valve per se. Sometimes proper terminology prevents confusion.Semantics.
I placed a screw on vacuum breaker on the Y connection at the water hose bib on the leg that feeds the spray nozzle. I see these same ones fitted on many of the campground”s potable hose bibs that we visit and it seems to do the same thing as that plastic device that was under the sink.

I don’t think they use an AAV on the black tank flush line, at least they didn’t on mine.Indeed it is. Why it’s used on the spray port seems redundant.
They stuck one on mine, unless again I’m mistaking it for some other device. It looked very similar to the one on the sink right next to it. I assumed that its purpose was to prevent the possibility of black water flowing through the spray port hose and contaminating the point source. Maybe its proper name is a back flow prevention device but whatever it is, it failed and is no longer in use.I don’t think they use an AAV on the black tank flush line, at least they didn’t on mine.
