Now if you add the Valterra cap with the hose fitting you can use a dedicated gray water hose to drain as well, comes in handy if you want to drain the gray but don't want to move the rig close to the dump or get out a longer 3" hose.
I'll probable keep mine as is, one thing I like is that it is right at the edge so I don't have to bend down and reach underneath to attach the hose. How far under is yours?

I have to guess as I've put it back into the storage shed, but no more than 2", about like the black drain. Very handy.

I agree about still being able to use the low water drain!

What I like about yours is the valve opens out, mine opens sideways and is awkward, plus yours eliminates the need for the elbow heating pad.

Plus the valve rotates up and down to facilitate hookup. I glued the heating pad back on the valve but doubt that it serves much purpose because the rubber boot is the only part that would hold water. If it seems too short for me to easily use I'll buy an extender and leave it on.

On a side note, I ordered the lights you installed on Nov 17 and haven't heard a word from them since. How long did it take you to get the lights??

Well I ordered them on 9/26, I received an email confirmation that they had shipped on 9/28 and I installed them on 10/4 so even if I received them on 10/4 that's only 8 days but I recall that I received them a day or so before I installed them. Probably held up in the supply chain, some guys over at the Sprinter forum ordered them too so possibly they got hit with a lot of orders and had to bring in more.
I ordered a Milwaukee M-12 inflator bare tool only that was supposed to ship in 2 weeks and I've been waiting over a month. Hope it comes through as they went up a lot since I ordered it.

Thanks! I'll call them and see if I can find out what the holdup is.

You'll love that m12 pump. I keep it in the MH and had to use it every day because the store that installed my new tires didn't tighten the metal valve on one of my wheels. Pretty simple to look at the TPMS and see how low it was and then set the correct pressure on the m12 and turn it on! I did order a clamp on valve from Amazon instead of using the screw valve that's on it. Kinda loud though, might not want to use it early in the morning!!

Hope you got your tail lights! Would you mind sharing which clamp on valve you ordered for the M12? Thanks!

Here's the part I ordered. Simple and works great
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ie=UTF8&psc=1P

I carry two batteries and a charger, but the large batteries last quite awhile, unless a installer doesn't do a good job and check the valves he installed for leaks!��

Finally received my lights, after two phone calls an a email, plan on installing them today.

Thanks, ordered it. I'm using it on small, high pressure bike tires and unthreading causes too much air loss.
PS At Autozone they sell the blue crimp connectors that have a heat shrinkable water tight seal covering them which I used on my lights.
