Dave on your model trailer you'll need to start by dropping the spare tire support. You may need to undo the wire nuts to the brakes so you won't be straining the magnet wires (you should solder them back together later). With the screws removed the panel we relax and lay on the axle and the drain that comes from that gray water tank. You'll need to cut the bubble foil (Artic Package) as it's one piece front to back to gain entry. I have never needed to work on my valves but you will be able to get to it fairly easy at this point.
This is where I did most of the heat taping and foam pipe wrap work.
315RLS The duck is there to heat the air under the trailer and the foam that is added will help with the extreme air temp. swings. I used fiberglass insulation because I could form it to lay on the trailer I beams to help insulate those. With steels near 0 R-rating this is an important step.
I work construction and at times I use the trailer as housing in all seasons that is why I have went to the steps to keep it from freezing up.SeeYa
