Graywater valve stuck open
Avalanche 290rl
Valve is stuck open. Suggestions? Will pouring veg oil into toilet and sinks lube valve? Corrode seals?

Kurts, forget any idea of pouring vegetable oil in anywhere and making a difference. Particularly don't pour it down the commode. That would be like pouring perfectly good vegetable oil down the commode. Most likely, in my opinion, you have a grey cable collapsed or broken at the connection. Until you got somewhere to drop a little of the coroplast and take a peak, stop at your friendly RV store and purchase a valve that fits on the end where your sewer hose connects and will do the same job only temporarily. I'll post a stock number shortly.
Just go here and click BUY. https://www.ebay.com/itm/16315905434...76b8bffff18207

I used one of those valves on the end of the sewer line for 2 years. My original valve would open and close but would sleep. So when I pulled into a cg and pulled cap off you got quart or 2 of crap,, embarrassing so that's how I corrected mine ,, have since traded it off

I've got one, use it ALL the time.... The one time I might think about taking it off is the one time that the black tank valve wouldn't close properly.... Soooooo, my "twist on valve" is a permanent attachment on the sewer connection... Call it insurance, assurance or "cautious sewering".... I wouldn't leave home without it...

X2 Started using one on the Cougar which always had a little surprise waiting when connecting the sewer hose, transferred to the Alpine without even waiting to see if it has the same problem.
