Rob, being somewhat OCD, that "before" picture wants me to walk out to my 27RL, drop the cloroplast and organize my wiring as well. Your a bad influence on me.

Hi Steve - This got a little more "complicated" than it needed to be . . . which seems to be the way with most of my projects . The removed section of coroplast is 36" front to back x the full width. Perhaps a little more than it needs to be, but I wanted unhindered access to all the gate valves. I have fabricated a frame that will fit this space, have fixed panels on each side (so I don't have to wrestle with the fit of the coroplast and spray foam around the exit pipe) and will have two hinged drop open doors for easy access when required. Part of the plan is also additional rigid foam insulation under all the tanks and the valve area. I would like to have electric heat in this area, so I don't have to depend on running the propane furnace to keep the tanks and plumbing warm . . . still thinking on this part of the plan. More pictures to follow when I get this mod finished!

Thanks Rob. You know, we are all following your “re-engineering projects”.
This though, is one I have on my list (gate valves). The Reflections look nice not having handles, and pipes underneath, but if you have problems, it presents extra work, etc.
Noticed my cloroplast, bows in the center with all the wires, etc. hanging down. I’m running’s 3 aluminum braces across the frame to help hold it up.

Just wanted to follow up on the greased valves. Mine began to be very difficult to operate so I decided to try this grease solution. I put the zerks in the recommended location and used high temp food grade grease. After six months of heavy use I can tell you this solution has worked great.

Thanks to all of you for sharing your thoughts and suggestions on fixing stuck/leaking gate valves. I recently had the pleasure of getting coated with waste water while removing the external sewage cap due to a gate valve that is not closing on one of my gray tanks. It's a bit daunting to think we have to take such measures to fix the issue and I hope/trust that GD is reading this and will address this common problem in the future. In the meantime it sounds like a day under the rig installing a grease zerk on each valve is in order. Oh boy, can't wait for that project.

Has anyone ever tried to install quarter turn ball valves on the two gray tank lines at the sewer connection? Leaving the gate valves open all the time and use the ball valve to drain the tanks. These two lines are exposed and easy access. Not sure if this could work on the black tank.
