Makes dirty jobs easier

Installation took about 1/2 hour. Started by installing the motor on the mount. Then he unscrewed the handle on the valve and screwed the bracket with the motor to the valve with the available screws. Finally, an adapter is screwed on, which actuates the valve with the motor. The electrical part wasn't that easy as the wires aren't very long. About 4 feet long. I had to splice and add another 5 feet of wire so I could place the switch on the compartment door. Also, cable routing has been addedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • humidification and filtration
Cons
  • not reliable

Model Barker Valterra-Bristol Auto Drain, Double

They are mounted in inaccessible places, not yet under the trailer. Double evaluation of the word DUH. Why don't so many people realize that maintenance is NOT the same as repair?

The best upgrade for our motorhome!

This unit arrived on time and took about 2 hours to install in total. I installed it on the gray water tank and routed the wiring inside next to the water level gauges. We installed a washer dryer and wanted to be able to drain the gray water without having to run outside to drain. I didn't want to install black water as I want to be close to the drain hoses when draining in case there is a problem. I had enough wire in the included harness to get to my switch. The valve assembly is simplyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Camping
Cons
  • Very Expensive
