'10 3665RE 2nd Grey Tank Dump Valve?

[WaltBennett]

I've read everything anyone's posted on where this is supposed to be, but can't find it anywhere. Reading left to right, the grey tank #1 is empty and #2 is 2/3 full. I can see the entire run of black PVC from where it exits the belly cover to the main sewer line and there's no valve. There's no handle anywhere else I can see either, including under the sink or behind the inside access panel to the back of the water heater & vac. Any suggestions?

Walt,
Look just under your rig and just in front of the left front tire.

Walt,
I believe your grey #2 valve handle and shaft have departed the rig. It is common and many of us have replaced it with a 1/4 threaded rod and purchased a handle at camping world. Just forward of the drivers side RV front tire. You may have to drop a portion of the underbelly cover.

The drain pipe exits the belly just in back of the rear driver's side and runs all the way forward to the main line & boom with nothing on it but one hanger. There's no valve anywhere on it.

Did you look underneath the drivers side between the two tires on the frame?

I was turned around - and elbow exits tight to the belly between the two axels, and then runs non-stop up to the main drain pipe. No valves anywhere, including through the frame.

AH HA!!!! Thanks for the frame tip. It's in FRONT of the front tire, through the frame and underneath the galley slideout. What a great place for it to be! Thanks all for the help.

Has anyone come up with a mod to make reaching the handle for this tank easier when the slides are open? Like maybe a removable extension? Don't really want to instal an electric valve for fear of a failure. My knees and back aren't the same as they used to be. It's a pain in the arse to get to with the slides open!

We have the same unit as you. I extended the handle via an 18 inch threaded extension of the rod, and at least now I do not have to get on my hands and knees to get under the slide. When traveling I unscrew it.

That's a great idea. I used to use a hook to reach under and pull it open, but the handles are very brittle and tended to break.

Might have to try that 18" extension.

I've heard of folks using the awning rod to hook it and pull the handle but I'd think you'd have to be very careful. The T part of the handle is plastic and it **will** break.

I changed all my gate valves to electric. No more hard to pull cables for me. And I don’t have to hit my head anymore to dump the galley.

I am putting in an electric valve...just push a button in the command center....yea..cost about 175 for parts...and a couple of hours for install...got everything from OZZ....

Thanks to this forum, I was able to find the 2nd grey tank valve. Over the Memorial Day weekend, my kitchen sink stopped draining. Since this was my first time using the trailer I couldnt find out why. The dealer who I bought the unit from, said it didnt have a second tank, even after we asked the tech, why there was a galley reading on the control panel with 2 bars showing. After looking at the useless Owners Manual, I took my Wifes smart phone and drove until I had enough reception to access this forum, and the problem was solved!
