The toilet is not the original so there is no dump valve handle to pull out, so I have no idea how to empty the waste! Help! Haha

Look on the drivers side behind the last rear wheel, just ahead of the generator, on the frame you should see a T handle.

There are a couple retainer clips that must be released to pull it open.

On our first trip out (just 25 miles to Shawnee earlier this year)
I discovered that the T-handle and its rod had been disconnected
from the gate valve! Luckily, I had brought my 3-ton floor jack, a
pair of 3-ton jack stands, and tools so I was able to safely jack
the left bogey up and reconnect the two pieces.

That was the EASY problem to fix. We discovered many others, most
of which are still to be fixed!

Hello Chr$,
Yeah basically. Best way is to find some unsuspecting person, sort of 'Hey mate', can you turn this, it seems to be stuck or something ??? Very Happy

cheers and beers
