Expert Answers about Dutchmen RV Waste Valves


  • Waste Valve T-Handle That Will Fit An Internally Threaded Rod
  • Hello Greg. We do offer one black water tank T-handle that is designed to work with an internally threaded shaft. It has a screw that inserts down thru the top of the handle.

  • Replacement Waste Valve for a 2008 Dutchmen Adirondack 31RL
  • Thanks for reaching out, Ryan! The Valterra Waste Valve Body # T1003PBC will work as long as you're replacing this on a 3" diameter waste valve that can be removed. I unfortunately don't have the specs on what came on your 2008 Dutchmen Adirondack 31RL so you'll need to verify this on your end.

  • Why Does The Handle For My Gray Tank Waste Valve Keep Spinning On The Push Rod
  • Hey Jay, Waste valve handles are a bit different depending on the brand and style of the valve but in your case it sounds like the thread is likely stripped and allowing the handle to skip over and keep spinning. As long as it's not backing off easily you shouldn't have a problem but we can still swap it out if needed. What brand is your current waste valve? Valterra or LaSalle Bristol?

  • Gauge Wire to Use to Extend Wiring of Valterra EZ Valve # E1003VP
  • Hey Taylor, it looks like the Valterra EZ Valve part # E1003VP that you referenced uses 16 gauge wire but since I think 14 gauge wire is easier to work with that would be what I would go with. The amperage draw of this is pretty light so you wouldn't need to really worry about overdrawing the wiring either.

  • Are Valterra Replacement Gate Valve Seals Compatible With LaSalle Bristol Gate Valves
  • Hey Douglas, The Valterra Bladex RV Waste Valve Seals # T1001-9VP are slightly larger (thicker) than the LaSalle Bristol gate valve seals so you while you could get them to fit you'd likely have a leak over time. Your best bet would be to replace the gate valve with a Valterra gate valve like part # T1001VP. The old gate valve can just be unbolted from the plumbing and swapped over to the newer valve and from then on you can replace just the seals as needed. The bolt pattern for these...

  • Is The Clearsource Ultra RV Water Filter System Designed For Occasional Use/ Tips For Storage
  • The Clearsource Ultra RV Water Filter System # CS87FR really is designed for "weekend warriors" such as yourself, who would only be using it occasionally, and are not living in the camper full time. It is very easy to set up and take down, and it is pretty lightweight, at least as far as water filtration systems go. We do not recommend leaving it full when in storage though. What you will want to do is remove the filters and blow out the system with pressurized air (do not exceed 30 PSI)....

  • Parts Needed To Convert A 2021 Crossroads RV Redwood 3951MB To Disc Brakes
  • Hi Floyd, Before we can confirm the correct kit will also need to figure out what bearings/grease seal match your spindles. You can remove them from the current hub and see if the part numbers are still stamped into them or you can measure the spindle at points B, C, and D on the diagram below with a set of calipers # PTW80157. From there you'll want to take a tape measure and measure the distance from where the actuator is going to sit back to the first axle, keeping in mind the distance...
