Look near the tires on roadside, along frame. Could even be between tires.

This is a common problem for first time Montana owners. The handle for the galley tank is not in the Convenience Center as you might expect (but you know that). It is located near the wheels on the driver's side. Look for the rod protruding through the frame. I am not that familiar with your model so I can't give you an exact location. Sometimes it is in front of the wheels, other times between the wheels. It depends on where the tank is located. But it is there!

Most likely there is a slide over it. It's also possible the handle is broken off and you may just see a threaded rod coming out.

look over tires,either forward,center,or rear of them. if you can shut the street side slide so you are not crawling under that also. you should find the handle. If not,you will find a hole thru the frame where it went thru to the valve. It could have come unscrewed, or the handle end has come off. it is 1/4 inch thread if you need to replace it. good luck

They should have painted it safety yellow or bright orange so us old people could see it. Had the same problem and took it back to dealer claiming it was plugged up or something. What an idiot I felt like when they told me of the THIRD handle BETWEEN the wheels on my 2880.

I know where mine is and sometimes have a hard time finding it, so I plan on painting the handle yellow when I get home.

For the 3665 it is there, or as indicated above, the handle/rod fell off.

Thank you everyone. God Bless Stan & Amy. We have electric switch that the dealer told us was to help drain black tank. After a day of frustration am very unhappy with dealer who is a Montana dealer.
