My coach is missing the holding tank valve handle pictured here:
http://goo.gl/NFCyU

The parts book shows it as #693762. Where can I get a replacement?

Thanks,

Sean,

That handle was a Thetford part. So was the little spring keeper kit. I have no clue if it is still available. You might call Thetford and ask. If they are no help, then try Bob Stone(r) that has GMC Reclaimations stock.

Worst case (cost wise) you can try Cinnabar.

I'm not sure if the OEM retaining clip (which I do have) on the GMC
would work with the Valterra handle.

Installed the handle today - perfect fit!

If you need one, it's Thetford 03795 - seems to be a common part.

Thanks again, Dennis!

Sean,

You're welcome -- and thanks for letting us know how it worked out and for confirming the correct part number. I have not looked at the GMCMI parts exchange -- but this would be a good entry -- especially since there were a number of people in need.
