New in Florida

[Love2camp]

Hey there, we recently upgraded from a Sprinter TT to our new Alpine 5ver. Due to busy kiddo schedule we haven't gotten to take her out yet. Looking forward to a quick trip here soon.

:wlcm: Love2camp. Quite a step up but I'm sure you will enjoy the extra room and pulling a 5th. Travel safely.

Just got back from a successful first trip in the new Alpine. Couple of little hiccups but had a great time. Just wondering why the gallery drain is way up underneath the slide and the other two are in a nice compartment on the side of the rig...someone didn't think that one through. Sure is a lot easier to set up with the level up system. Thankful for all of the great info on this forum.

Welcome to the forum and from the sounds of your post, you're pretty saatisfied with your Alpine so far. That's great and I hope you continue to have good satisfaction with the RV.

As for your question about the location os the sink gray water drain valve, This is speculation only, but think about it and see what you think:


The black tank needs to be accessible when camping with full hookups, one of the gray tanks needs to be accessible to help clean the hose after flushing the black tank. So, those two are together and accessbile with the slides out because they will need to be used regularly during camping with full hookups. Now as for the other gray tank, it would normally be left open during full hookup camping and doesn't need to be accessed regularly. When dry camping, all the valves would be closed until the RV is pulled to the dumping station (all the slides would be pulled in for that tow to the dump station) and with the slides in, all three valves are accessible.

While this doesn't negate Keystone's lack of thinking things through, hopefully it will give you at least one thought as to why they didn't put a priority on accessing the valve that is normally open during camping with hookups.

Just one opinion, I have no doubt there'll be others :)
