problem with brake controer
I am having a problem with my brake control. The one under the dash.After several yrs with no problem, the two red lights 0n the brake c stay on and run down the battery. This is after disconnecting the TT. So now I disconnect the controller which is a pain. Do I need a new controller?

RE: Heavy tongue weight - change from PP 3P?
I had the Hensley (actually still have it} and it was more trouble than it was worth. I have the 3 point Equalizer now and it is very easy to hook up and does as good a job as the Hensley that is sitting in my garage

RE: Too old to drive ?
I am 83 and have no plans to stop RVing. Never had an accident, nor a ticket in all those yrs.I can still drive 10 to 12 hrs a day towing a 34 ft TT. Before that it was a 40 ft 5 wheel.No one as far as I know is afraid to ride with me driving so far.I taught drivers how to improve their driving skill towing rvs for several yrs and that was scary as the 30 to 40 yr old thought they knew it all

RE: I just got the new RV Magazine
I still have over 2 yrs left on my subs so I called and was told I could stop my sub but could not get my left over sub back. I told her I guess I would keep it and donate. I started my sub away back, prob 30 yrs ago or so. I have most of the back issues in my garage

RE: Cannot open grey or black tank
Thanks, everyone for your suggestions. She had several RV Guys check the problem out and said it would be $250 to $325 and would have to be towed into their shop. Her truck was wrecked so she has no transportation, she is disabled, does not have a pot to pixx in until the 10th of Jan when she gets a check. Thanks all. Happy New Year

RE: Cannot open grey or black tank
First question: What's the recent weather? If it's been well below freezing, it could simply be that they are frozen. If that's the case, once it's warmed up, they should work again.
As someone else mentioned, it's odd that both failed simultaneously. Really with the remote valves, you have to open up the bottom to get at them. Sometimes, they will have a cover you can remove to get at them. Once you get at them, it's pretty straight forward to unbolt and not to expensive to replace...it is a messy nasty job...particularly if the tanks are full.
Not that it helps but I really dislike the remote valves for just this reason. Much better to have everything right there where you can get at it.
The Travel Trailer is and has been in Yuma Az for the last 6 months
in storage. The plumber cut a large section of sheet metal trying to get to the valves and gave up and said to call a RV Place that works on RVs. So that is what she is against at this time. I am out of the picture as I am just the owner of the property that she is renting

RE: Cannot open grey or black tank
Thank you all, I will pass the info on.
The first person I called yesterday was a plumber who tried for an hour which I paid for.
He tried drilling a hole etc.
The caps were off. I really feel sorry for the lady plus she has broken ribs,
no transportation, very little money, and Christmas time. My wife called Helping Hands but they are off until Jan 4th

Cannot open grey or black tank
A Lady rented one of my RV Sites yesterday here in Yuma and when she tried to empty her tanks the handle that you pull out would not budge. I tried pulling each handle and I could not pull it open. I called a friend and he tried and could not open either one. I called another friend and he could not get either one to open. The Lady just arrived here two weeks ago and a drunk driver hit her p/up and totaled it. No insurance by either her or the drunk driver. She had PLPD only. She is 60 and very little money. Every thing from the handle back is built in or covered, not easy to get to. Anyone have any suggestions how to get the handles to move as they should? She needs help as she does not know anyone here as does not have transportation or very little money as she just got out of an abusive relation
