I have 3 Drain Master valves on my 2005 rig that I bought new. Originally, I had one valve that was creating problems. A review of my owner's manual quickly revealed that the valves were mounted in the incorrect position. The rigs' design and placement location of the valves do not allow for proper mounting.
I have inspection hatches cut into my underbelly for easy access. I can manually override any valve in 10 minutes or less.
Another problem that I found was the 4 bolts on the valve were over tighten. Sometimes when a valve sticks, which is now rare, I can merely loosen the 4 bolts, operate the valve several times, and re-tighten the bolts and all is well. Since I'm a full-timer, my valves get a weekly workout. And, two of my valves are so old that they have the old screwdriver manual override instead of the newer allen wrench fitting. I'm pleased with my electric valves!
