Is there a reason that the shower faucet in our 3100RK is mounted upside down?

I asked the same question of the dealer where we bought the BH and he in turn asked the factory, the reply was that is the way we always do it. The shower hose is badly kinked and will probably fail in the near future.
Turning the faucet over is on my list of things to do. Put less stress on the hose; hanging down is natural drop for the hose instead of forced bend from the top of the faucet. The response 'that's the way we always do it' drives me nuts.
The check valve in the water heater outlet is part of the winterizing bypass valving.

Australian export model?

When you say upside down are you meaning the hose comes out of the top of the fawcet set rather than the bottom?
They are not mounted upside down, they are designed this way. If you take one apart you will see that the red or hotwater cartridge is on the left hand side. They are also designed that when you turn them on the handles would be pointing downward. If you reverse it, the handles will be pointed upwards. Every RV that I have ever seen has them installed this way.
That is good to know! And JohnDar YOU'RE FUNNY
TPTWISI: With the original setup, if you throw something into the shower (that is where we keep our laundry basket) and you hit the shower levers, they get turned on and things get soaked. Plus if you bump them while taking a shower better get ready for a shock. I am going to change mine around so that I have the Aussi style of shower.
Laundry bags (his & hers) in closet on the floor. Wash cloths on suction hooks not over the handles. Don't own enough real estate to bump into the handles while showering. The little seat keeps me far enough away.
