Default Water inlet check valve

At times the check valve in the city water inlet will stick and then we will turn on the pump and lose all of our water. I though today I had the problem solved by buying a brass check valve and installing it first onto the inlet. But when I got it home it was the wrong size. If I would just remember to take something and rap it right where the hose fits on it will reseat it and all is well. But at times I forget and then no water. Has any of you had the same problem and what was your cure?

Those cheap check valves that the RV industry uses have a very high failure rate. What I do is use a screw in plug when I remove the hose so the inlet is plugged. I have done this on every RV since 1989.

I don't worry about if the check valve fails or not, my plug takes care of it.

Plugging it works.. So does placing a ball valve on the line just inside.
