located the dump valve and cut open the underbelly, took off the calbe and the valve moves freely, so cable is seized, strange for a 3 year old unit hardly used. held the handle end lightly in a vise and gave it a good dose of penetrating oil a few times over several hours, let it sit overnight, and still stuck,,, FN@#!#%& !!! so ordered a new one, unfortunately only comes with the valve at $180 (cdn)
Has anyone seen if any aftermarket place makes them in stainless steel?
I had this problem...valve was stuck slightly open, I used a camera to see what was going on. I cut the cable and relocated the handle right by the drain pipe so the cable is now shorter and straight, it was the cable that was the problem not the valve.
I also drilled a hole in the valve (another thread) so I can spray some lube in there. Oh and yeah had to cut bottom open to access. I got the schematics from Jayco so I knew exactly where to cut ;)
