lock for the waste water valves.

LOL

What about not bothering with the cap, and using a twist-on valve? That way, if the kids pull all three, they get wet. If they pull all but the twist-on, no harm, no foul.

How about a motion sensor connected to a light and an alarm. Call the police and fingerprint the valves, then let the police find out who they are and talk to them a bit.

I was the victim of a hit and run car accident. Very little damage was done, and I had witnesses who got the license number of the car. I called the police, and they came out to look at my vehicle. They said that since no real damage was done and no one was seriously hurt, they wouldn't bother to pursue it. I suspect you would have about as much luck trying to get them to dust your dump valve for fingerprints.

If you lave the caps off in storage or a lot of camping areas you are guaranteed rodents and maybe birds nests. Rodents might even chew on seals or drain pipes.

Take the cap off, and put it up. If they pull the valves, then it might get on them.

This has to be the best answer ever. Might make a mess in your yard though but I think it would be worth it.

Since they are not in a compartment you would have to fabricate something. In the mean time consider taking the handles off, they unscrew, and coat the rod with grease. Maybe that will slow them down a bit.

Skip the handle removal, and other silly solutions -

Round #1.
Liberally coat the handle with a heavy (dark) grease front & back.
Gently wipe off the front of the valve which faces "out".

If round #1 didn't work, you're ready for The REAL round "Number two"!
You may wish to skip #1 for the pure enjoyment of #2..:@
Time to decide who dumps on who (whom?)..:C

Get out your throw-away latex gloves -
Repeat #1 - with a dog dropping of appropriate consistency...:E

Don't forget you did that - when it's your turn to pull the valve!

Make sure your black tank is empty but put some water in your grey tank then put the cap on so that when water hits it, it will blow off and hopefully get them wet!

The handles for the stock sewage slider valves on our motorhome's black/grey tanks have a tab sticking out of them with a hole in the tab ... as if it's intended for use to install a security cable through this hole and then wrapped around the 3" black black/grey pipes with maybe a small lock through loops on each end of the security cable. Kindof like a mini-version of the cables used to secure bikes to bike racks.

(I've never made use of these holes in these sewer valve handles, as our valves are accessible only in a locked cabinet.)

I'd try the grease.. used to have kids using my backyard (and the neighbor behind me) as a short cut. they were jumping over a short chain link fence, so I greased up the parts that they would likely grab in order to hop over.. That stopped it cold..

Makes sure that whatever you use will not damage the plastic though.. maybe silicone grease?
