Low Point Drain Valves - PSA "Carry Spares"
Hi All,
Big time lurker on the forum....learning a lot. My wife and I purchased a new 2021 Solitude 2930RL back in July. Been on a few camping trips and encountered some small issues but nothing really problematic. However, we went for a long weekend this past week and encountered a complete failure of both valves on the low point drain at the base of the nautilus bay. Water will not work if these valves have failed. And both of mine failed. I've included the pics...Sorry I didn't take pics while still attached, but wanted to make sure I had pics of the failed valves in case you have them as well. You can see in the pics the complete failure of the o ring.
FYI, I ran to Home Depot to get supplies, but in order to fix right I had to get pex crimps and supplies, just so my weekend wasn't ruined.

Same thing happened to mine. O ring was bad/split.
I swapped both out with brass valves intended for a washing machine hookup.

Hey Big Daddy... how did you figure out is was the low point drain? We have been living in our 2930RL since this June. I definitely want to know signs and symptoms.

Zan, I started noticing small drips coming from the low water drain while in storage. We went on a trip and connecting to city water, I'm guessing caused enough pressure to fail the valves further. You will have no water if these fail, so I highly recommend having some spares just in case. :-)
