Thanks. I'll try the 90 first. It's pretty tight in the UDC, but this looks small enough to not block the black tank flush inlet.

My Greystone 29BL had a leak in the front compartment by the UDC. Tore things apart and found the city water connection is leaking behind the UDC. My problem is that the hose that comes up into the UDC to connect to the inlet is too heavy and it pulls the water flange down and causes a leak...

I'll get another spare at the local tire shop as insurance for the next trip. But have less than 200 miles total to go before putting it in a shed for 5 months.

Heard back from Camping World this morning. They checked the axle, springs, etc. etc. Said they all checked out fine. Guess they finally checked the tire and said it had a broken belt that is the likely culprit. Not sure if that is something that is easy to detect with normal inspection, but...

Just got off the phone with Camping World. The tech said it was probably a bent spindle or camber(?) issue. They said it probably wasn't an axle problem because that would impact both tires and I only have a problem with one. Not sure how much it's going to cost to fix either of those issues...

I called the local tire shop and they didn't say anything about it being an alignment issue. They said it was either the axle or the bearings and that they don't work on either of those things. They are a tire shop only, so I'm assuming they wont' work on suspensions either. Probably have to...

Got home from a short trip (150 miles) this past weekend and went to put my tire covers on and noticed one of the tires had significant wear on the outside edge. Only 1 tire and only on the outer most tread. Tires were properly inflated to 80 psi. They are on a 2012 Greystone. Original from...

Looks like mine. Guess I'll get it all cleaned up and put back together. Thanks for checking.

Looks like those pictures are with the outside fitting attached with the seal in between. My picture was of the valve by itself. Pretty sure mine is a Valterra Bladex as well. The seals are pretty big and fit in snugly. Maybe that's enough. They do sell the valve piece separately. Found...

So, I'm trying to fix my leaking black tank and manage to get the valve out and cleaned up (as much as I could). It appears the valve has open spaces along both sides of the valve. Is this right? Seems like it would leak liquid, but maybe the seals cover this up enough to prevent a leak? The...

Re: More vavle problems Alright, I'm going to start out by apologizing to all. This was a simple fix. This is why I am an actuary and not a mechanic! If nothing else, I post this to help the next mechanically challenged individual. It is easier to put the valve back in between the fittings...

Re: More vavle problems At this point, I think it might be simplest to just cut one side of the clips off the valve assembly. Any thoughts if this would weaken the valve too much? The older valves don't have the clips, so I wouldn't think it would be big problem. The one side already has a...

Re: More vavle problems Not sure if you can make that out, but the right side of the pic is where the grey comes down and is glued to the 3" Y connector. The left side of the pic shows the 3" pipe going up to the black tank. Any cut would have to be further to the right side of this...

Re: More vavle problems Yep, this would require replacing almost my entire 3" line as well. The Y adapter is glued to the 3" connector, which is then glued to more curved sections of the 3" pipe. Basically, from this grey tank, all the way to the black tank is nothing but small pieces of...

Re: More vavle problems Not sure how I would replace the curved pipe. It is cemented in all the way to the 3" connector (2 pieces of curved pipe). The back of the valve assemble is pretty much glued right to the tank, so there is no room to cut there.
