So much fun. Oh did I mention that the tank is full and the valve is broken internally in the closed position? Good times... poppa • View posts Dallas, TX Full Member Joined: 01/16/2020 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/17/22 05:30pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator are ya sure ya didnt just un screw the stem out of the valve gate?

I can actuate the control rod but it must be detatchwd from the gate.

Going to add a black tank flush kit while its apart. Thats the "plan" anyway.

They get pretty upset over any spillage , understandably. poppa • View posts Dallas, TX Full Member Joined: 01/16/2020 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/17/22 06:55pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator good luck!

You could pull it out with that as that is the female end thread in the valve. 2020 Keystone Cougar 22RBS, Ram 1500, two Jacks and plenty of time to roam!

Unless i can get it pumped out first then it would be easy after that. ralph day • View posts Ontario Canada Full Member Joined: 03/28/2014 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/18/22 09:07am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Maybe a local portable toilet company would be a better bet...their suction hose would be smaller, probably a smaller call-out fee too. Good luck. Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 2   Next Open Roads Forum  >  Travel Trailers  >  General Q&A  > The Sewer Valve
