Brand new to the forum

Howdy! I've just become a member of the forum. We have been actively trailering for almost 30 years now and love this great country. We've grown from a tiny trailer about the same size as a Scamp, which we called our "Bedrock Boulder", because it looked it was from the Flintstones. Next was a 21-foot, a 31-foot and a 33-foot travel trailer. We finally have our first 5th wheel! YAY!
We are terribly pleased with all the pleasant and wonderful replies that so many folks have had with their various problems. I really hope that we can get the same help here. We have just purchased a 2004 Everest 361P that is needing just a bit of TLC. The main problem is the black holding tank valve. I cannot get it to close with the cable handle. YUCK! I am hoping someone would have an idea where the gate valve is located and how the cable is secured to prevent it from buckling (which is suspect it is). I know it's somewhere behind that underbelly fabric that is sealed up to prevent rodents and weather problems, but I cannot bring myself to cut it open to just randomly poke around up in there to find the valve. Does anyone have a specific location for me to start looking at?
Another problem is that the floor squeaks and groans just before the step-down into the rear kitchen area as well as in the upstairs bath area. I am suspecting loose flooring, but am not confident. How can I bolster these areas and how can I actually get in there to do so?
Any ideas regarding these two problems would be greatly appreciated! Glad to be aboard and hope to be able to help others as time goes by.

Sorry I can't be any help with your questions, but I'm sure there are folks on here who can. I know black tank valves have been discussed & flooring repairs also. Good luck with your repairs so you can get out & enjoy your 5er!

to the forum and to Keystone RVing. Here's hoping you find answers to all your questions and that your "new to you" fifth wheel will provide you years of enjoyable travelling.

You may get better response to your questions if you post them in the "repairs and maintenance" section. Some members who frequently answer questions and share information don't regularly check the "new members" section. There is also a "search" feature on the forum. Click on the search button located in the blue bar at the top of every forum webpage. You will find that most questions have already been askeed and a large amount of information is already available to you by searching.

Good luck finding answers and "happy repairing"
