Factory cable valves and replacements
The factory cable valves on my 2001 Winnebago Brave 33V seem to always be leaking or breaking. Is it considered wise to have them replaced with the slide style of valves or am I doing something wrong ...

Convert them to the Barkley electric valves. I did mine 2 years ago, they work flawlessly. Only cost $20 more than the cable replacement.
Until they fail and then what do you do?. Cable Valves are used where there is usually NO access to the valves or they are in a enclosed underbelly. They make extension rods for the manual pull valves. IF the OP has room, he can replace with Manual pull valves and install the correct extension rod to get out the needed pull area for the handle. Also, if they fail that often, it may be how the cable is routed. Making sure you have NO tight bends makes a big difference on operation and longevity. Doug
