Replacing cable actuated sewer valves with rod actuated
Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2020 10:45 am
I have worked on projects during this time, the biggest was to change the sewage valves and lines from cable operated to pull rod and change the placement of them to make them serviceable, after all no one ever gets teepee stuck in a valve do they? The black valve has been leaking (must have teepee stuck in it), even before the cable hold down at the valve broke.
They placed this valve so deep in the belly of the rig that taking it apart to fix or clean is not a option. The cable that you see in to top of the picture below is the same one you see in the first picture. trying to give you a idea of how far back in this area they are placed I got this replacement valve combo from etrailer.com it worked perfect both of the valves can be rotated to line them up where you need the valves to end up so here it is with the old out and the new in!
Another Covid-19 casualty! So between end of April and end of October, we had 170 days on the road planned for 88 Year old Mom to speak all over USA in 2020. All cancelled until Mom feels like things look safer out there, we are laying low. She is writing books and Zooming for meetings all over the place. I am getting every little thing done on the rig so it is ready when she is next year. And Yes I see nothing that is slowing down her energizer bunny.
