Handles missing on Grey & Black valves?

[UT17MKEowners]

First trip with new Imagine 17 XLS17MKE, ready to leave, both handles are gone! Not something I would think to check.
We'll be fine, but can someone tell me the brand Grand Design uses?

Will need to Lock Tight Blue them when replaced.

RecPro is the brand that's on mine. Here's a link to get replacements. https://amzn.to/3gZooze

I'd give GD a call, they might just ship some to you since this happen on your first trip. You got nothing to loose. Lol

Never heard of them falling off before - perhaps someone needed them more than you. Where do you store your trailer? BTW use the red as folks can still get the screw out on the blue.

I've lost 3 on two different trailers. Twice replaced with an integrated 9" rod & handle and once, just the handle. GD should handle it but Amazon could be your friend.

Replacements on the way from GD

Use silicone or something else to keep the screws on - Loctite can cause plastic to degrade. So at some point, you may find the screws stay in, but the handle breaks off when you tug on it!

Very good point.

I had the same thing happen this summer on my 1st trip with our 17 mke. I call GD customer support and the person I talked to said he would send me a replacement. About a week later I get this box delivered to my front door. And when I opened the box here is a complete gate valve assembly - but - guess what - I took every piece of packing paper out and no handle just the valve assembly - lol. The person at GD meant well. So I just used my pliers until I go to the dealership for some minor warranty work.
