    Drain valves

    I have 2007 295RK and the pulls for the kitchen and black water valves now stay in the open position and I have to remove the under belly to hold the cable to close the valves. How is the cable held in the handle body, so I can open and close the valves? Thanks in advance for you help. Butch

    Water in the underbelly

    We had problems with the fresh water tank vents which caused water to be discahrged into the undr belly and they also found a line connection that was cross threaded, But the fix was simple for the shop and the unit was less that a year old. Good luck

This may also cause stress of the frames which may bend...
