Water Valve Leak Check and Repair
I called Winnebago to ask about replacing a leaking valve and they suggested replacing the whole assembly that includes both a 1.5 inch gray water release valve and a 3 inch black water release valve....

Yes, it is a fairly easy task.
Empty and flush tanks. Reempty and let drain good. It could be crappy job if you don't flush and drain tanks. You still may have some liquid left.
Locate the valves.
Have wrenches. Easy to use socket set either 1/4 or 3/8 drive and combination end wrench.
Take valve 4 bolts loose.
I use vaseline to hold the gaskets (2) in place. If you have some thin sheet metal like flashing material, it works good to hold gaskets in place. Slide valve assembly in to place and re-install new bolts that come with valve.
Some rigs have very little slack in the piping depending on installation. Some it is easy to do both at the same time. Others doing one at a time works best.
