Yesterday, August 21st, I finally got the dump valve handle to release today. It doesn't work so it will need to be replaced. We are going to redo the copper piping anyway this winter, and replace the black water tank with a gray water tank so we will be replacing the valve also it looks like.


   The other thing I looked at today was the water intake for the fresh water tank.

I cannot open it because the handle to pull it out is broken. I had to research this to even figure out if it screwed in, hinged, but it pulls out. A suggestion from the AS forum said drill out the rivets and replace it. So I am now going to see if this is something out there. Wish me luck!
