Yup, and I put my in plastic bags also and carry them with me as spares.

Glad it all worked out as planned and it's a mod that that you'll be glad every time you use it.

Sometimes the people who followed me may have had second thoughts. :)

No damage at all to the exposed plumbing. Not like my old Scamp with the front bath. The water pump hung down low and seemed...

I enjoy the adrenalin rush as I fit multi glued joints into a space with unmovable attachment points. :) But seriously, the flex is a good way of leaving some wiggle room.

I'm not sure that I'd...

Yeck, seeing that grey water valve way back there requiring a back twisting sideways pull makes me remember how much I hated it. :)

Good luck.

You're right about that. My biggest fear is that when I'm putting together a multi-joint assembly is that I'll end up caught short. I find that being very generous, to the point of looking sloppy,...

Yah, me too. But I'm always happy to see a dump site that slopes the "right" way. Sometimes I get a bit impatient waiting for the flow to entirely stop. Then it's "good enough".

Glad it worked out for you. As you say, the original location was a real pain.

It's doubtful the speed of the tank draining will change. The tank drains more slowly as it empties because the...

That would probably work. But for someone that wants to do the mod but hasn't yet started it would be simpler and cheaper just to put a sanitary tee in. They'd still have the nice 90* radius with a...

Interesting point. I've never felt the need to rinse out the grey tank that way. I did just stick a hose in to test that situation and while I could get the hose started down the pipe aways it...

That's probably got a lot to do with it. Pretty much the same for us. Went over the options. Graphic color: got anything that matches the truck? Done. :) And I did have 2 special requests; not...

Me too, it started as a how to change your dump valve to the new front pull style. :) But it wouldn't be a typical thread if it didn't wander off to new topics. Fortunately no one's thrown any...

My old valves are Bristol's so it's not as if ETI switched brands. Just luck of the draw that both Camping World and my local RV store both stock Valterra.

Good eyes on spotting the long 90. I'm...

OK, I know what they say, measure twice, cut once. And that's what I intended to do, honest. But I wanted to see if my sawzall would be able to get into the space as it's near the frame. Seemed to...

Thanks for that. I like the fact that I can put a very slight downwards slope on the output but once it's in position that's it, I'll lock it in position.

If I did want to keep it's position...

I'll second that. I looked out, saw it wasn't raining and thought that I'd get out there and hold the valve up and see what I needed to do. Then I saw the ice on the sun deck. Maybe later. :)

There isn't any hose involved. Pipe and fittings are ABS and they are solvent cemented together to form a monolithic strong and leak free assembly. Or, to put it another way, sudden death if you...
