Replacing Failing RV Fresh & Black Water Inlet Valves & Removing the Vacuum Breaker

Our RV City Fresh Water and our Black/Gray Water Inlet Valves started wearing out in the hose thread area since they are made of plastic. I found a replacement that is made with brass with a plastic housing. Here's a detailed video showing you what I found and my replacement installation. Plus how I removed the vacuum breaker and what I replaced it with. I hope this video is helpful for you should you face this problem someday.
