My susupicion is that either sand granules and/or mineral deposits have built up in the valve causing it to stick. When I checked with my local plumbing supply for a replacement on my '78 Argosy, they found a rebuild kit available -- they didn't stock it but had the valve and since the new valve wasn't particularly expensive I went with that option. If it is mineral accumulation, disassembling the valve and soaking in white vinegar may be at least a short-term cure -- one gasket would be involved between the body of the valve and the bell top.
My experience with my Argosy was the opposite of yours -- my onboard water system worked fine -- the coach wouldn't accept park water even when I set my external regulator to 20 p.s.i.
Good luck with your investigation!
