On mine it was the valve.  Since I (1) seldom have rear seat passengers, (2) don't use the camper much in winter, and (3) am pretty tolerant of cold, especially when in a vehicle, where I just dress warmly, I removed the heater and ran the heater lines straight forward.  That gave me more storage room under the seat.  Of course, that left two holes in the bulkhead behind the storage.  I sealed them.  If I or some future owner wants to put the heater back in, the holes can be easily opened again.  mcneely

The rear heater os leaking, and I am wondering if the valve tends to leak, the O ring, the core?  If there is a most common failure I will do that or do generally rebuild the whole unit?  The valve defiantly is leaking.
