I have used solid and flex dump valves. I have installed both types myself. I much prefer the solid valve rod because it works better. If it were me I would look into lengthening the rod on the valve you have now. Unscrew the T handle, screw on a long nut and rescrew an extension rod with support. Doing this will be easier than replacing the entire valve.

An extension handle will not work on the galley valve. The valve handle points straight down toward the ground and not out toward the side of the RV.
Thanks!

I just thought of one more thing if you decide not to go with the electric valve. Even though your handle points down, I THINK you might be able to remove the 4 machine screws holding the two pieces of the body, and then rotate the part with the handle on it 90 degrees. Seems like when I've had mine apart it certainly looked possible.
If so, you could position the handle to pull left or right, your choice. After adding the extension as mentions above you would not have to get under your trailer.
Thanks for the advice but the other issue is this valve is also under my slide out so even if I turn the valve I would still have to then get under the slide out to pull it
