FR3 - Its good for me -TO POOP ON!
OK, everyone settle down it's just my sick sense of humor for what is undoubtedly a common issue for FR3 owners.
It finally happened, at about 11,500 miles something gave my low hanging sewer pipe a big shove to the rear, pointing it straight backwards!
I am not amused.
So I have now taken it all apart, cleaned up some of the mess, while other messes await me in my attempt for repairs.
It looks like the only damage so far was The 1 1/2 dump valve housing cracked, and of course the split pipe in the middle was ripped out of both sides, the gray and the black water valves.
The black dump valve is now weeping a little bit, which is worrisome but I do not see any damage to the housing.
I should have seen this coming from 100 miles away, and modified my drain pipe long ago.
The question now is, what should I do and how should I repair it? If anyone has done this before me, please share me your insights. To those that have not considered what can happen, let Ye be warned!
