Leaking Backflow Valve

I have a 2013 Cardinal CAF3450RL with a leaking Black tank flushing line backflow valve. I have looked in all the cabinets and cannot find an access panel anywhere. Does anyone know how to get to it? Do I have to remove the back wall in the storage compartment to find it?

Thanks

Melvin

Many are located in the vanity (as pictured) but in any case it will be directly above the outside black tank flush connection.

Tell me how do you know this backflow valve is leaking, where do you see water? I have the same model 2013 cardinal, I will start looking for mine, didn't know I even had one.

When flushing the Black Tank I started seeing water dripping under the RV on the Right side of the water heater. I finally found the access point and replaced the valve. No more leak.
