Sewer slide valves

Any tricks for a remote handle to operate the slide valves. Mine are parallel to camper body and hard to reach and actuate. Any body got a new way or long handle or ideas?

  • I got a piece of schedule 40 sprinkler pipe, cut out a notch for the valve handle, basically and made a long handle extension. No more getting on one knee and no more elec and cables messing up. I used a dremel tool to carve it out. Also changed out plastic handles for alum and put lock tight on screw connections.
    I looked for pic's but this article explains it better than I. http://www.loveyourrv.com/tip-for-hard-to-reach-rv-waste-valve/
  • I have electric valves on my 2013 Arctic Fox. They have been trouble free.
  • How good and or dependable are the electric valves and any operating issues?
  • When I had that same problem, I installed an electric one.
