Well I have had issues with the front grey tank valve stuck open. So I removed the underbelly cover to inspect and evaluate the problem. What I found out is that the cable is ok and the valve is ok. So the problem discovered is that the clamp on the valve that holds the cable in place was not tight...easy fix right....wrong. The valve installer installed the valve with the screws facing the frame. So the only way to fix it would be to take the valve out flip it over put the cable housing into the clamp and tighten it up.
Well the valve is glued to the tank outlet instead of having a flange for easy service. So the valve would have to be sawed out from both sides then replumbed. Buy a new valve and reinstall new plumbing to make up for what was cut out.
Great Job Heartland.....if this gets posted it would be a miracle.
Just another *** by an untrained installer...that’s going to cost me a lot of money and time to make right.
or maybe someone else has figured out an easier way to fix.it right.
I was able to rig it with some zip ties to work but don’t like patching things up.
