UCamp 18 ( single dump valve mod )

Dalehelman · June 2018

If you are interested in this modification and you are attending UCamp 18. I am bringing enough parts to do 3 of these conversions. Total cost for parts $75. Do it yourself and save. Difficulty level is about a 2 out of 5. I will be available for help and instruction. Contact me ahead of time if interested.

Dale, check for PM. Thanks

@Dalehelman, pm also.

I can vouch for @Dalehelman ‘s work. He reconfigured mine. It works well, and so easy to dump the tanks! Thanks again Dale!

cbarnhill · June 2018

I can vouch for his skills as well. Love my single dump mod. I hope you’ll do this at tabazona, too. ;-))

db_cooper · June 2018

Dale, does this mod work with the Outback platform?

Dalehelman · June 2018

@db_cooper
yes I have done several.

Dalehelman · June 2018

Yes

Photomom · June 2018

I’d like to see how (if) this works with the front platform. The gray valve is a pain to get to.

Dalehelman · June 2018

@Photomom
Those with the Outback platform have been very pleased. I will se if I can find some pictures.

I would think the gray waste gate would need to pivot 90degrees with the platform...

Dalehelman · June 2018

@4ncar
It can very slightly from trailer to trailer, but it is always very accessible.

Photomom · June 2018

Dale, I might be interested if it makes it easier to reach the gray valve without having to crawl around on the ground at the dump station.

Does NuCamp offer this as a kit you can order thru Elsie? I added the platform. I bought a right angle and straight extension to my existing pipe setup. I still have the two ports then. I can see the appeal of a one hook up feature.

jgram2 · June 2018

@TerryV6 I’ve been contemplating an extension for our black tank valve under the Outback platform. You’ve no problem with it staying connected while traveling? What’s the right angle for?

TerryV6 · June 2018

These extensions worked okay on our last trip. The only problem I had was when taking the hose "off" the extension started to thread off too. I probably will make them permanant if I decide to stay with this..

Hi Dale, Id sure like to see these as well. Is this just a simple connect, or is there some cutting and relocating of gates involved?

Dalehelman · June 2018

@TerryV6
One cut to the gray water pipe to create a 90*. Everything else is bolt together. Entirely reversible if you ever wanted to. I guarantee you will not want to.

TerryV6 · June 2018

Dale, could you put me down for one of your kits?

Dalehelman · June 2018

@TerryV6
You are #2
I can collect additional parts if others are interested.

TerryV6 · June 2018

Thanks a lots!

Well... I bought our camper and said to my wife, “Wife, we are now set to do some serious camping...

Then, we decided to add a few things. Then, after being on this forum and seeing all the ideas, we decided a few more changes were in order.

Then Dale started showing us all some new ideas in camper modification. Now we are definitely set for some serious camping....

Help me me before I mod again...

Sharon_is_SAM · June 2018

Somebody needs to put a hold on your Amazon Prime @TerryV6! You’ve gone off the deep end🤣

TerryV6 · June 2018

Funny... don’t you think???

Dalehelman · June 2018

And that rig is just for weekends.

I think that’s a really classy horse trailer.

Dale, I am interested, assuming it will work with the platform and doesn’t involve a lot of fiddling with the pipes. Will probably need hand holding.

No fear this modification is completely reversible. I guarantee you won’t want to though. You would be #3. Keep in mind tanks must be empty and dry. The best way is to empty and flush. Then leave both gate valves open and the end caps off overnight or the last 50 miles or so.

Homebodyatheart · June 2018

@TerryV6 actually, the final mod in the pic would be a good start for storing @Dalehelman 's tools and gear! Have you ever seen his set up in the back of his jeep? It's impressive! And that's just his traveling kit!

(In his defense, he keeps an impeccably clean and well organized garage.)
