LOW POINT DRAINS--Starcraft
We have a 2013 StarCraft (Autumn Ridge) that has been giving me fits with the freshwater Low Point Drain Valves.
This push / pull, open close mechanism is *%%^#*& horrible, or to put it mildly, Bloody Horrible. I was not going to swap horrible for horrible with OEM. The cost of horrible is astronomical (not quite), but the savings in headaches is astronomical.
Where the drains come out underneath the trailer, I took about 3 inches of 5/8 inch pressure hose and double hose clamped it to the drain outlets (both hot & cold). I then inserted into the 5/8ths hose (also double clamped) a twist off threaded plug. Cost about 5 bucks compared to the replacement of OEM. I will try to post a picture jury rigging.
Now if they leak or don't leak, through vibration or just not liking me, I believe this helps my headaches. I just have to stay on top of making sure the adjustable hose clamps do not loosen up. NO PROBLEM MON !
YOUR THOUGHTS or what did I miss ??????
yikes
