Did one of the jobs I hate the most...cleaned and serviced the black and gray water dump valves.
FIRST double checked to make sure the tanks were empty, then opened valves and inspected the seals. They are right at the back of our camper so they can be serviced without taking things apart.
A little light soapy water scrub of the seals to make sure there's no "residue" getting jammed in each time the valve is shut. Then a light coat of silicon spray on each of the handle shafts and life is good!
