hermanmullins Report post Posted August 10, 2017 Joe, Welcome to the Forum. Are you asking about just replacing the two slide valves or up grading to automatic valves? Replacing them are the same either way. Just running power to them if going automatic. If you plan on doing the job yourself be sure to flush and rinse the tanks and then do it again several times. Before you start to remove the old valves make sure that you raise the drivers side of the coach. There's always waste still in the tanks. Be very careful of the "O" rings and you should be fine. Good luck and let us know how it turns out. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted August 10, 2017 joe. Welcome to the Forum! Could you be more specific in your question? I have no idea what " dumping cables" are! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbutler Report post Posted August 10, 2017 Yeah, what Herman said. And I'm with Carl, I have no idea what dumping cables are. Maybe a picture or further explanation would help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welcome to the forum. I believe you are asking about the cables used to operate the dump valves, right? Did you have one break? Are they just hard to operate? It makes it easier if you add your coach to your signature, look at carl's and T Butler. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted August 13, 2017 Bill. What cables? You seem to know where or what they are! I only know about the knife valves, pull the "T" handle that's attached to the metal rod that opens/closes valve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desertdeals69 Report post Posted August 13, 2017 I have seen cables on the dump valves. Simular to remote control cables on outboard motors. Morse and Teleflex make them. I believe the type is a bulkhead mount at one end with a t handle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted August 13, 2017 DD69, is that on a coach with a combined B & G tank? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted August 13, 2017 Well if the OP comes back we might find out. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stephikroll Report post Posted August 14, 2017 Prior to our existing coach, we owned an Itasca Reyo (Class A on a Sprinter chassis) which used cables on the dump valves. The black and gray tanks were located under the chassis behind the rear axle - one on the driver's side and one on the passenger side. They drained through the dump valves into a common 3" header that ran to the driver side of the coach. The dump valve cables allowed the T-handles to be mounted up in a driver side bay with the other plumbing valves/fittings for easy access. It seemed to work OK. To the OP: As far as I know, Winnebago is still building coaches using these cables. I would think that you could order replacement parts from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayin Report post Posted August 19, 2017 As stephikroll said, Winnebago still makes these cables. I had Camping World replace mine-twice, then my extended service contract provider determined the valves were actually bad, as I maintained, and authorized new valves installed too. If you look up your model coach on the Winnebago website you'll find the plumbing schematic for your MH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
