How the heck do you get to the dump valves. Must you remove every thing in the utility compartment??

Remove the pull handles from the stems. Mine came out kinda easily... I'll go look at mine again and add to this message if anything changes, its been over a year since I have been in there. + The faucet detaches at the scutcheon plates and the panel comes over the fittings, only 1/2 of the panel is removable(the right half) and that exposes the two dump valves.

I used a plastic fitting into the side of the fresh water tank and added a piece of tubing and a garden hose type connector so that I can fill directly in to the water tank thus bypassing all the other piping. I can now fill in about 15 minutes. Do a search and you will see photos that BILL W> added.Good luck Quote Selected
