Well an update on Anderson valve
It's seems to be fine. I pulled the suction line to the W/pump and was getting I tinny bit coming back at first then it stopped. I tried turning the pump on and off to see if I could get it to start back flowing backwards through the pump and after a few hours I ended up with about 1/2 of water in the bucket.
So right now I'm thinking it's an intermittent problem with the pump and not the Anderson valve. So I'm going to plumb in the Sharkbite one-way check valve right after the pump. That should fix my problem of the fresh water tank filling up while on CITY water hookups. Guess I have an new Anderson valve to carry around if someone ever needs it.
(((Update on this check valve)))
- it did not work on the pressure side of the pump !!!!! It has to be installed on the suction side or the pump will keep growling every 2 seconds because of not having constant volume of back pressure.

Jerrod,
Like in your picture mine is the same, I find it interesting that Heartland service says to hit the top and make it flat ie... take out the arch I do not know how you could ever hit the top with only 2 to 3 inches to work in. My next request will be for a hand full of the Teflon pads especially if they wear out this fast.

Jerrod - you may have some debris in the diaphragm of the pump. I believe the pump can be taken apart and the diaphragm cleaned. Never done it or seen it done but I believe I've heard of it.

Jim I watched it for hours and really never found an evident problem. I installed the one-way check valve and put everything back together.
Time will tell if my tank ever fills up again.
Thanks to you, Dan, and all the others.
I've learned a ton more about how it all works and now will be able to help others.

That's what this forum is all about - owners helping owners. I especially appreciate you and many, many others like you that are willing to take time to answer questions of other owners and give them actionable feedback regarding their issue(s). Paying it forward!

Back to the cargo box mounted on the spare tire carrier... Great solution for more storage. I'm thinking of storing the large area ground mats and perhaps my telescoping cleaning poles, etc.
I can order up the BAL spare tire carrier easy enough but not sure where I can easily get a metal box fabbed up on the cheap. Did you consider using plastic? Either way I've got some shopping to do.

Another Mod in the books.
Small Mod big Job....
I installed a 20" strip of LED lights under the bottom shelf in the entry closest. I wanted it to work with the motion sensor I installed last week. So I had to move the motion sensor down to the lower light because there is only 2 wires going from the switch up to the light in the ceiling.
Install the sensor and wired both light in.
Now as soon as you open the door all of the lights come on. I have them set at 1 minute so they turn off fairly quick after you close the door.

Edit: Updated version with using a day-night motion sensor
https://heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/54076-Project-LM-365?p=482070&viewfull=1#post482070
Next Mod
I mounted a motion sensor under the entry steps and wired it in the the porch light above the door. It is still on the switch also so you can override it if you want. But now as soon as you get neer the entry door area the light comes on.
We needed it the other night when we took the shuttle to the casino, then when we got back late at night they dropped us off it was pitch black out there. Not anymore.!!!!
The hardest part of both these Mods was figuring out how Heartland ran there wires and where to tap into them.

I tapped in at the switch in the control panel on this one. I ran a 18awg 4 wire (my roll of 16awg is not here yet)
I ran that from the switch down into the basement area behind the wall then ran it in the loom with the side maker light wires back to the steps.

All of that work yesterday on wiring that motion sensor in the closest and making it look nice. Then after DW got home she reminded me that I was going to move that shelf down about 6" so the coats will hang right.
Oops guess I'll bee redoing that one today.
