I would go to an RV service place and get them to put new valves in. The
valves are well under $100 for all 3. People with failed AutoStop valves
should consider the same thing. It is not that hard or expensive to get
new parts to replace the ancient parts. Here is a link to one Web place
that sells valves. I suspect there are cheaper places.
