The slide hatch at the bottom, where the sewer hose feeds out was open & Maxwell was parked in the yard when that picture was taken. Whatcha think, I grow grass in my trunk? I don't think so~

I sold the frying pan cap to Silver Bullet. We didn't need both...

Shari,
Mine looks like that now, with the belly pan removed.lol
Still working on removing the pan under the tank.
I got to tell you, those retainer bolts are hard to remove~
(If they would just stop moving around on me...lol)
The new pan, unlike the old one, will be designed to drain water accumulation.
Plus, I plan to make it easier for removal in case there's any future work in that area.
BTW, my end cap is "white plastic" on the dump..
It looks to be original..
ciao

Thanks John, that's a great idea. Can anyone measure a gasket and tell me the thisckness?

Thanks,

Frazer, unfortunately you have the same trouble that most of us Vintage People have with those valves, and that is nothing will fit it. The valve is a Valterra, but neither it, nor the caps, have been made for many years (decades). I was able to remove the valve from my coach, and replace it with a new Valterra 2" slide valve, and a collage of PVC pieces to fabricate something that would fit a 3" hose.
I know it isn't what you would like to hear, but that will likely be the only way to make your sewer hookup "fit".
