I received the valve in the mail a few days ago. Yesterday I finally got around to installing it. Easy to do (once you've done it), but learning how it's put together and keeping the parts inside the tank from slipping so it can be bolted took a little coordination. But now that I've done it, if I had to do it again, it would be so hard. Hopefully I'll never have to do it again.
I tested for leaks with clear water, and was able to dump the water over a bush in the yard (nothing like 32 gallons of water being dumped on that poor bush)!
But... no leaks. I went ahead and dumped my black tank to try it out. I can dump into my septic tank at home. It worked great again! No leaks! Let's hope I can get another 15 or 20 years out of it now!
Ready for our next trip now!
