Gray water dump on 2002 King of the Road

Thank you. That is what we will end up doing. We were able to finally get the switch out and clean the contacts. It works, for now, but a backup manual release is in the works.

I think that the easiest (and price is right) place to get the replacement valves that are cable operated is Amazon.

Thank you all for the info, we were hoping to find a manual mechanism to handle this problem, but it seems that is not in the works. At $95 per hour labor, we were hoping to have a do- it-yourself project.

If it's coroplast (corrugated plastic), simply cut a small access panel on 3 sides with the "hinge" to the front. Take a look around and see where the valves are located. Use Eternabond tape to seal the cuts and make a larger access where the valves are. Either that, or charge up your cordless drill and start pulling all the self-tapping screws that hold up the underbelly panels and just take them completely off.

As a 'mergency thing, it is possible I suppose to pull the house battery, drag it around to the side and hot wire a temporary jump to the dump valve. That would let you at least dump a currently full tank and give you time to track down the problem.

My guess is that you'll find a wire somewhere that passes through some bulkhead and was not grommeted properly, and abraded until broken. But that's just a guess.
