How to Fix RV with Wall Leak and Water Damage

[twowheelz]

I have an issue I am hoping someone can help me with.
I have a water leak in an interior wall, between the bathroom and hallway.
From speaking with the manufacturer it is probably the anti-siphon valve that is broken or causing the issue.
There is no access panel available. On the hallway side is the control panel to turn on water pump and check levels of the tanks. On the bathroom side, seems like it would be the easiest to remove. Is there any insight you or anyone can provide on the best way to remove the wall panel, without damaging the panel?
This is on a 2014 Heartland 3150DS Wilderness.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Water leaks in an interior wall, what a mess. Often times there is no access panel, these RV’s and motorhomes were not built to be taken apart easily. Be careful when you cut into an RV or motorhome wall especially adjacent to a bathroom. Although the wall is not load bearing there may well be vent pipes or wiring in that wall so take care to avoid cutting those utilities.

You may want to consider installing an access panel if this problem is likely to repeat itself. After installing an access panel you may want to consider installing shut off valves on water supply line. And of course if you have ongoing concerns about leaks you can install leak detection devices.

I found the valve, after messing up one wall. I had originally missed it when looking through a panel, I was so focused on the bathroom wall. Bought a borescope/inspection camera and traced ti back.
Now on top of all that, come to find out after replacing, it is actually the valve on the toilet.
