Title: so many problems
Post by: handyman on March 26, 2002, 10:32:00 AM
First my heater fan rubs and makes noise when running has anyone ever changed one of them other than the noise it works great. I read that the panel above the gen battery compartment comes off does it hinge from the front or does it come completly off and if so how. how hard is it to change the dump valves mine leak a little also should you rebuiled them or replace them and how do you replace them do they unclamp or do you have to cut the pipes I need a lot of help on my clipper lots of years of neglect  (//images/smiles/icon_confused.gif)

As for the dump valves, they are sealed into the holding tanks and will come out when you remove the clamps. (if there are any)  I replaced my dump valves with a Valterra unit and some extra black tubing.  You only need to re-seal them with silicone and replace the clamps.  This unit brings both valve handles to a place where you can easily reach them.
