Default Dump Value won't Open

We have a full tank but can't get the value to open. The value has a handle on it but it is very difficult to get to and we don't want to force it. It won't budge with a fairly good pull. Has anyone had a value stuck closed?

Hi Les,

Not sure if your in cold weather or what not which would make sense as to why its sticking and I always found that spraying lubricant on the extended pull rods tends to resolve sticking issues -- worth a try.

Which side of the coach are you trying to dump from? On mine, the drivers side is the manual dump and the passenger side is the air dump.

You might try dumping with macerator pump if you have one. Ours is on the curbside in the hot water heater bay.
