Good evening guys. I reminded myself tonight that I am not a welder. Ugh!

Got that manual pull valve installed on the camper waste line then decided to fix that bracket that broke on the bed lift. Should have quit at the valve. LOL

Hey at least you won't get turds on your hands when you take the cap off the waste line. That's always a plus.

I've got to get a manual pull valve as well. Ended up with turds on my hand too.

Did you guys get the one that just attaches where the hose would or a glue in?

I got the glue in one. I like the cleaner look and no chance of accidentally twisting it and it coming off.

Good evening guys. Also got the bed lift finished and back in the camper. Man I was sweating like crazy in this heat.
