I am really undecided; got a couple of weeks before my Camping World appointment. If I just replace the cable actuated valves I’m thinking I can do that myself and avoid the cost of labor, learn more about my 5’er by getting up under there and seeing how things are done, and the cable actuated valves are covered under my extended warranty.
On the other hand electric valves would be very convenient, even though they cost more and will not be covered by my warranty. I’ve found about an equal amount of pros and cons about the electric valves, but I’ve also found some criticism about the cable actuated valves which I currently have. One such criticism said that they had to change their cable actuated values every year because of the cable sticking or coming loose. This is what has happened to me only after having my brand new 5th wheel for about 15-months.
As I said, I still have a couple of weeks to weigh this and make a decision. My extended warranty will cover replacement of the cable actuated valves but I can purchase a relatively cheap 3-year protection plan from Camping World that will cover the electric values.
