Gray tank open valve problem

I have a 2009 Montana 3605RL with a sticky valve pull...for lack of a better description. The handle that is used to open and close the gray water tank is nearly impossible to pull. Anyone have this problem and aware of a solution? Thanks!

Try shooting some silicon spray on the handle when you have it pulled all the way out. Then push it in and pull out a few times to see if that helps any. I don't know if there is an adjustment on it or not. I rather doubt there is.

Good luck.

Jerry, I had to drop the belly panels to gain access them remove the handle to both the gray and black tanks. I then used a rotary file in my drill to open the top of hole in metal frame and wood that the handles go through because the handle were in a bind and dragging on the wood and metal they go through. Another great installation at the factory, good luck no matter what you do.
