Electric fresh water dump

So thanks to you good people, I found my fresh water dump on my Arctic Fox. That's the good news.

Now the bad news. It is the most ridiculous spot I have ever seen. You have to crawl under the trailer and unscrew a plug which when you do, it dumps water and splashes mud all over you. :R

I'm too old for this type of C**p. So, I was thinking of putting an electric water dump on the pipe.

I was thinking of something like this.

Has any of you ever did this?

    On My Montego Bay, I had that exact same issue.. I placed an elbow on that drain pipe and ran a short run towards the side of the camper.. at that point, I placed another elbow downward. I put a short piece followed by a ball valve facing down.. No more laying down, and Army crawling under the camper to drain the tank....

    I don't know where your water pump is but mine is easy to access in the basement. I just shut off the pump disconnect the connection to the house system attach a legnth of hose and pump her dry.

    Unscrew the plug, install a 90 degree elbow, connect some PVC pipe to the elbow and run the pipe close to the edge of the trailer. Install a shut off valve on the end of the PVC pipe.

    Do you also have a low point drain for the hot water system? That's my preferred method to drain my FW tank, far faster since it uses the pump versus just letting gravity do the work.
