I have replaced valves on our previous toy hauler and yes it is very easy. I am just concerned with a cable system. This morning when looking up information on the net I found several people who stated they replaced the valve and cable and still had problems with the valve not closing. I know from my previous unit the valve had to have some good pressure to close completely. I guess that is my thought process with the electric motor version vs a cable.
We have never left the valve open. We don't camp for very long periods so getting the tank full has not been a problem.
So have any of you had good luck with a cable type system over time? I know on bikes, dirt bikes, ATVs the cables fail unless maintained with lube and still don't last long. Just wondering if this is the same case with RVs or since it is somewhat sealed not a problem? By the way, I really appreciate the feedback and information.
