Sewer outlet facing wrong direction on new RV

After receiving delivery of our new 2014 Storm 32V, we encountered a problem with the sewer outlet. The factory installed the sewer outlet facing the wrong way so that you can't hook up the sewer hose to it. Was supposed to leave on a trip and had to cancel because of the problem. Took the unit back to the dealer to get the problem fixed, should have it back in a few days. I'm not a happy camper today. When we got to the dealer to drop off the unit I went and checked the other Storm 32v the had on the lot and the sewer outlet was wrong on that one too. I guess there is no quality control at Fleetwood, hard to believe it was done on another unit. Hope I don't have anymore issues. How do you attach pictures?

    IF the sewer outlet was a Y that both valves connected too, I will bet you just swivel it forward without having to loosen anything. I hope the OP posts a pic. BTW, THAT should have been caught on the PDI. A GOOD PDI includes filling and dumping the tanks to make sure there are no leaks and the dump process is correct. Doug

    As stated, a very simple process to loosen and twist to correct position. DIY project for most anyone.

    DB..usually it's simply a matter of loosening the screws holding the valves and turning the "business" end around and tightening the screws. Shouldn't take but about 15 mins to complete the job....Dennis
