2007 Lexington

I recently purchased a 25' Lexington class C and thought i knew what i was doing when it came to emptying my tanks. There is only one outlet with one T handle, therefore I thought i was emptying both black and grey, now it seems my grey is full. I have looked by the tires on both sides for another T handle to release the grey, but havent found one. Help! Am i missing something?

Moved thread to the Lexington sub-forum since the OP is asking for help with their Lexington.
OP, it helps if you posted year and model number so a member who owns the same Lexington model, can be more helpful. Or put that information in your profile or signature.

It would help if you identify the model of your 2007 Lexington. The different layouts have features and functions in various locations.

On ours I have one dump valve on the drivers side for the black tank. A smaller pipe connects to that dump valve and runs to the other side of the coach. Following that pipe on the other side leads to the grey tank dump valve. The underside of ours is not covered at all so this stuff is open to see.

I have a 2007 235s. The grey water release is directly below the city water connection and cap for the gas tank. Chances are the T handle has fallen off (it happened to me once). The tank sits toward the middle of the back of the rv. There's a four or five foot cable that connects to the valve. Mine gets sticky from time to time. Someone might have broken the handle trying to open the valve.


FYI the toilet and bathroom sink drain into the black tank. The shower and kitchen sink drain into the gray tank.



I've had mine for about 8 years now. It's a pretty solid unit and gets great mileage (10-12 mpg) with the Chevy 6 liter, four speed. Lots of mod opportunities.

Welcome!

I have a 2006 Lexington 255DS 26’
I get over 9mpg not towing.

Check/replace your air filter, check tire pressure.

Lots of threads on tires, make sure yours have not aged out (8-10 years max).

2007 Lexington

Hello and welcome to the Lexington Family. If your unit is a 255DS Than the T handle you are looking for is about 10 inches to the right of the small storage compartment on the passenger side at the back. You don't have to go on your knees to find it. You will see it. If you enlarge my second pic you will see it clearly. Well it is visible in both, my decal is still on for the grey T handle location. Good luck and let us know if you find it.

Also check speedometer. The faster you drive, the way worse your fuel mileage.

We have a Lexington GTS 2008. The black pull is on the driverside next to the drain opening and the Grey pull is straight across. It is tucked up under, but once you find it you can see it without getting down on the ground. It is behind the exhaust pipe on the passenger side. Hope this helps.

My Lexi is a 2011, and my gray tank handle is on the passenger side near the exhaust. I did not find it easy to locate, and made a mark with a Sharpie so I don’t have to go down on my knees to find. NOT the best design!
