My temp fix has been a cork but would like to fix properly. I have a 2012 23ss ROO. Thanks

I just had to replace those items last month in my 5'ver...
Best place to get this stuff is at an RV parts store or Camping World if you have one nearby.
Also, Big R or Tractor Supply might have these things as well.
I was down in the middle of southwestern New Mexico when I needed this stuff, so went in to a True Value Hardware store and found a plastic check valve for lawn sprinklers that would work, but also had to buy a hodge podge of adapters to make it fit.
However, on my way back to the RV I spotted a small RV repair shop and stopped in and luckily he also had a small parts store and had the two pieces I needed...the screen and the check valve!
Now, turned out my screen was OK, but was just clogged full of stuff from the factory, so I cleaned it out and saved it as a backup.
And the brass check valve was so much better than the plastic lawn one from True Value, and only took about 20 minutes to complete the job!
These are the items I purchased (and they do carry both of these at Camping World):
