Is it a gate valve on the street side? I don’t have your model but sometimes coaches with the bathroom on the right side will have two valves. The second one is there so that the, um, solids, in your holding tank won’t settle into a long drain pipe possibly clogging it with unpleasantness. Other coaches address this with a single valve that is on the right side but cable or pushrod operated. Each approach has its advantages and it’s disadvantages. Just one more thing to get used to.

There’s also an electric version if you want to go that way.

Our 29H Outlaw had the "3rd valve". Once we knew where t was: it was pretty easy to just kneel down, and give it a rug...

The Delano 24TT has the same valves. Keep your knees and back in good shape!
