Black Tank Valve not closing
I left the annual rally in Goshen and at the next campground I discovered the black tank valve was not closing (YUCK!). I have a 3700RL (2012) and the black tank valve is connected via a cable. The valve handle was moving to easy and it was obvious the rod/handle was slipping and not moving the valve properly. I crawled under the Monty, removed some of the bottom covering and discovered the cable has a clamshell construction and it was slipping. I was able to slip it to the side and get to the valve stem and close it. After multiple fills and flushes, I removed the four bolts that connect the valve to the black tank. Once removed, I could reseat the clamshell under the mounting hardware and secure it back into place. I'm a happy camper again. Not really that hard a job... Just yucky
