Having multiple engineers in the family, I'm saying it's the project managers who cause these problems.

Well I do believe that valve would rotate in the line without developing a leak but still a bad place for the junction box

Of course I don't know how much worse that is than all my water line inlets and line to pump are all right beside all my electrical and my convertor

I couldn't agree more.

My wife did ask a Grand Design tech if any of their engineers or design people owned their own campers & used them. He said of course...her response, apparently not or the units would be designed differently.

We had a leak behind the wall in the "basement" and when the tech removed the wall, the wasted space behind that wall.

Wife would really appreciate it if the units were cleaned more thoroughly, especially of all the wood shavings before the units were sealed.

There is no way to turn that valve without moving the junction box. There was no clearance between the valve and the box cover.

Lots of crimp connections can be rotated without causing a problem. Try rotating the whole valve 90 degrees, until you can make other arrangements.

Well that was just plain and outright STUPID of someone.
Don't know what came first, the box or the valve but, why in the heck would anyone with any kind of sense either put an electrical junction box under a water valve or a water valve over an electrical junction box. IDIOTS plain and simple.
