2009 36tk3 elite tank handles and belly tray
My 2009 36tk3 elite evidently the cable from tank drain handle has left valve open. Anyone have recommendations on removing belly tray to access dump valves?

Dump valve may be accessible inside storage bay under black tank.

Tank valve cable
Not certain which tank. I had thought it was black but most of winterization is grey tank and had pink drain out after.

Are your tank drain handles labeled in the water bay area?

So, sounds like you're talking about the grey tank, is that correct?

Uncertain tank handles
At this point I am uncertain which tank. Suspect grey but should be sure which tank after this weekend. I have a clear tube attached at end of dump tube with dump handle on end so I will see what is leaking after camping this weekend. Just looking for advice on cable ends at tank valve and also removing access on belly.

This is confusing. If you know which handle (they are labeled) is disconnected, then you should know which tank cable is disconnected. So which is it, grey or black? I'm trying to help you here so don't take offense, ok? I've worked on bought tank cables over the years, 15 to be exact, so can help with fixing your issue. I just need to know which tank we're talking about.

Have not touched handles since last fall. Do not know which is leaking since both are closed and I had not hookup to dump valves last fall to see which valve was not closing. 2 handles, separate tanks, one discharge. Going camping this weekend and will have hookup to process valves and open closed status. If you have drv and have removed cover in belly around discharge pipe I was looking for experience on removal and reinstall and what you find in belly above cover.

I've worked on both. So yes, have worked on the grey valve access cover on the bottom of the RV. The grey tank cable is easier to work on although you're lying on your back underneath the RV. You can PM me after you figure out which tank cable you're dealing with if you still need some help/suggestions.

Rv dump handles
I had full hookup over weekend, left valves closed and had no leakage at discharge with added valve at end. Accumulated 1/2 Black and full Grey had over weekend and dump n flush worked fine. May have been a fluke or perhaps something had blocked valve from closing before.
