Morescuba,

You don't indicate which model or size unit you have. On ours that valve is located in the area between the shower and the pantry. There is a small square panel held in with 4 screws in the upper area of the pantry. The back flow preventer that was pictured is right behind there in our rig and easy to swap out. Check to make sure it's just not a loose connection to the hoses first before you change it. Mine was only loosely screwed in and the thing was leaking because the guy who installed it only had a couple threads engaged instead of tightening the connection. If it does need to be replaced it's available at RV supply places in the plumbing area. I think they were about $10 to $15 or so.
