Black/gray tank extension

[DannyA]

I haven't seen this addressed before, if it has 'sorry'.
Where my black/gray tanks empty out of my 5th wheel, they are far enough under the camper that I must get on my knees to hook the sewer lines up. My question is, are they extensions that I can find to bring then to the edge so I will only have to bend over rather than get down on my knees to dump my tanks?
Thanks for any help.

The solution for those with a hard to reach valve handle is to just add an electric valve. Stand at the edge of the coach and flip the switch.

"DannyA"....the black plumbing is just PVC. The ends are glued on and then a valve attached. You can by those ends new, cut the old ones off, extend the entire pipe to a new location and glue the valve connector ends back on. Any good RV parts store will have a listing of various shapes and configurations of the black tank ends, openings and sizes. I did this on a trailer for a friend because her was leaking. Had to glue new valve ends on and then replace valves.

Even if he were to add this extension he has to get on his hands and knees to still pull the valve....

I just read "add valve extentions" :S

I have the same problem. I am planning on installing an access panel like this one here click but not textured.

I had a travel trailer that the pull valve was in a terrible place to get, you had to get on your knees all the time. I did manage to at least change the angle on it to make it a little easier.
On this 5th wheels it has two dump places, one in front and one behind the tires, you got to get on your knees twice! That is what I'm trying to stop.

If you leave the extension on while traveling it will need support in the form of a pipe hanger.

Sorry I can't post pictures now.
But its just your regular black/gray tank dump points. It just seems they are under the edge of the camper by 12-15 inches, which makes it hard to get to.
But the link downtheroad put on is what I want (I think)!
