Dump Valves 99 30' IB
I was looking at a friends 99 30' IB yesterday. We have an 06 IB. I was surprised to see that the dump valves are enclosed and accessed through a bin door. The dump hose and power cord exit a small door on the bottom of this enclosure. Whereas ours are exposed and protrude from the bottom of the skirting.

Anyway, it appears she has a leaking valve, not sure which at this point. This is complicated by the fact that the tanks have the spray on foam. Of the two valves one of the bolts on the black tank valve will be more difficult to access. What I fear is that the foam will make everything so rigid that once bolts are removed I don't know if it will separate enough or at all so that we can remove the valve.

Has anyone else seen this situation and, if so, how did it turn out?

Jim, a few months ago I corresponded with Pat Gray who has a 2000 30' and replaced her valves. I will email those exchanges off line. They include a photo of her setup which may be the same as Marial's.

Thanks Chris. We saw that post but didn't see a resolution.
