I to had the annoying drip from that fitting. I took out the whole manifold, took all the fittings apart, cleaned the blue plumber's putty or whatever it is, from all the threads and from inside the valve bodies ! The blue gunk was Everywhere, on thread globs inside the fittings, I'm surprised it wasn't stopped up.
After I cleaned all that up, and insured all the Male, and female threads were spotless, I applied a Liberal ( uh hate using that word) amount of Teflon Tape to all Male threads. Put it all back together, and no leak after 3 two week trips !
As you can see I numbered each fitting and corresponding hose/connection, because I knew I would probably forget what went where.
So far I haven't had the fresh water tank filling when set to City Water problem , YET.
I told ANDERSON, they have a Great Racket going on, selling a faulty part to the Manufacturer, and charging the End User for the repair part !
