26fkws kitchen grey water waste dump

[JMark]

Not sure if this has been discussed; could not find it.
The dump connection and valve for the kitchen waste in my Flagstaff 26fkws is under the slide and very difficult/impossible to operate with slide out. Has anyone modified this?
Any suggestions.
Thanks

The member GreenZR did this to his. Message him and see if he posted somewhere how to do it.

Thanks. I found his post. unfortunately his solution will not work for me. my slide extends back to between the wheels.
will however consider modification to his idea.

Very easy,Valterra sells a 90 Deg L that is for sewer hose and Garden Hose,also buy Valterra sewer Cap with the Garden Hose outlet! Run a Garden hose between the two! Youroo!!

I have the same Trailer - 2015 Flagstaff 26 FKWS with the front dump valve under the slide out. Not that I like to do it but I connect the grey water hook up before putting out the slide and likewise disconnect after the slide is put in. When you are camped for a period of time and need to open the valve occasional, I put down a plastic tarp or piece of cardboard, get out my rubber kneeling pad and crawl under there. Its not great but possible to do. This is the least of the problems I have had with this trailer. The main slide takes up almost the whole opening between the from cupboards and the entertainment centre so I have to watch carefully when sending out or pulling in the main slide as it can catch on the cupboard knobs if the slide doesn't come in straight. I will PM you.

thanks...and make sure that the tv is properly stored before moving the slide!.
I have connected the kitchen grey to a long drain hose then connected that with a Y to the other drain and on to the dump and used an in line valve before the y when camped for a week but do not like the idea of using the hose an grey water storage.
I am presently considering changing the existing dupm valve for a cable of electric one so the I can use it when the slide is out.
Other than this issue we enjoy the trailer.

It is a pain. I have the same trailer. I do what Youroo said. It looks like the factory could have designed and installed a drain to the main drain. But I guess that have been an extra expense. You could also use a Y connector at or before the campground sewer outlet, run another sewer hose from the kitchen outlet to the Y, other side of Y would be for the black/grey from bathroom.

That is what I plan on doing. Just do not like to keep valve open. So i plan on changing Kitchen valve to cable operated and run cable forwards to the front of tt so that i can operate it without crawling under slide. when it worms up will do this and post again.

Fixed. I installed a cable operated valve with the. Control mounted at the front of the tt. This way I can connect the hose before opening the slide and dump whenever I wish without crawling under or closing the slide.
