At the risk of sounding like I'm trolling for an answer I want to hear - I do agree with you mfox. It would be great if I can just do all of this in my driveway, but it sounds like that's not the best idea? Since I have already drained the grey water on my driveway (no taking that back now) - would it be safe to empty my black water into the carrier I have, and flush both tanks thoroughly so I can deal with the issue at hand? I'm concerned that I might not have the appropriate time, tools, etc if I try to diagnose and repair the problem at a dump site.
I will take precautions to ensure the black tank is in fact empty - but at this point, it just makes sense to deal with the issue at hand, and know for future reference that I don't want to be dumping either tank at my residence. (I knew this applied after I started using the trailer, it was more of a practice for me at home that went south - thus, bringing this issue to my attention now instead of later).
I do agree though, if I'm going through all of the troubleshooting - if it ends up being a bad valve instead of a clogged valve, I think the best thing to do is replace both valves while I'm down there. I may add the twist on valve for extra insurance.
