How cool to be able to help others.  We just don't realize how our time & good deeds can carry forward.

Inspired by Rogers really nice work and post 8 years ago, I'm updating my wet bay too.  Thanks Roger for the post and the detailed description along with parts list.  Lonnie
Lonnie, I don't know if your coach has a slide, but if it does this is a must do modification. 2001 slide truss they installed makes it really a challenge to remove unless you weigh 120 lbs. very difficult to get below the truss and above the panel to disconnect the cables. Electric valve would help  access but what a pain. Good looking panel. If you dont have the truss issue then it doesn't need to be three panels. Very nice job either way. If that is stainless it was a lot of work! 👍👍

No slide on our coach Scott and good thing because I'm pushing double the 120.  I just had a valve cable issue and decided to just replace it all along with adding the the 3rd valve and couldn't resist the stainless panels.  I can't take credit for the nice cut outs.  I went to a local sheet metal shop and they used their cnc plasma table.  I hope to have everything back in place mid next week if time allows. Thanks for the feedback.

That's cheating. I like it but I seem to never go down the easy path. All I could think of was all time spent cutting by hand. I really like the third valve and use it every single time I dump. I always run my potable water into the gray tank before getting home. Dump the black and back fill with the extra gray tank. Usually get three back flushes on the black tank. Always crystal clear on the last backflushes. I never added a black tank cleaning spray tube as others have but seems to be clean and odor free. I did recently change all my air admittance valves inside do to odor oddly during dump events inside. Resolved issue. I always dry out the potable water system during extended storage periods. Nevertheless your panels look great. You should post a link to the sheetmetal shop, others may want to do what you did and since its loaded in there programming it would be simple for them to build panels for others and ship.
