In my 2012 36B4 Cedar Creek the dump valves for the bunk house 1/2 bath, both gray and black, are stuck. I pushed the handle so hard trying to close it that I broke the bracket. So now I have to open the underbelly to find out if it's the valve that is stuck or the cables. Can someone tell me where the valve is actually located? I don't want to open up any more of the underbelly than I have to. Thanks

Cut a flap but make sure you make the "hinge" towards the front of the unit. When was the last time that rear set of tanks was used? Maybe spray some penetrate where the cable attaches to the valve and the handle and let it sit.
Its most likely the cables are frozen. Had you previously lubed them with something like WD40? The problem (happened to me) is that petroleum based lube in those plastic cable sheaths, causes the plastic to soften and glue itself to the cables. I had dealer fix twice. After the third time, i ripped the cable pulls out, and installed electric dump valve actuators. Problem free ever since. I highly recommend that modification.

On CC's don't they use plastic sheets (for lack of better word) so you can remove just a section at a time for repairs? If so, easy-peazy and wish other mfrs would do the same.
