Repair plumbing damage from blowout
The last time we took our 2009 3124KB out we had not one but two different blowouts.
The blowout on the plumbing side took out the plumbing assembly approximately eight inches to a foot in. It broke off the black all the way to the valve and the grey was broken off to a joint about a foot in. We also lost the tie in between black and grey lines.
Hubby would like to do the repair on this himself since we are over a days drive to Nebraska and we have an unplanned trip coming up.
Are the parts something that we could get easily? Where would we find the valves, etc an RV shop? What are the valves, connection between black and grey, etc. parts name or number to look for?
If anyone knows the names of the parts needed or has a plumbing diagram/ picture of how it should be and could post it I would greatly appreciate it.
I called service in Nebraska today and just got the answering machine, left a message, no call back and Hubby would really like to get going on this....
Also, this is the only damage we can see from the blowouts on either side, but we just parked the trailer after and haven't run through it since. Is there any other possible/likely damage I should be on the lookout for?
Thank you all in advance,
Sonya
Here is a photo of the plumbing damage and where the lines are broken off to:

I would probably replace both valves with something like this..
Then you just need to do some plastic plumbing (Lowes or HD) for the gray tank, black should just be bolt on.

We were lucky in our class c when a passing car knocked a goodyear gator into our plumbing. Just stopped at an RV repair place and bought replacement Valterra valves.
The problem for has always been the black plastic piping in 30 years I have never found a glue that works. It is supposed to ABS pipe but the ABS glues I've used don't seem to work. Any RV shop should be able to repair it or have the parts. Some mobile home/RV parts places will have what you need also.

I went by and visited with trailmanorman at the Virginia Beach pop-up rally that is going on this weekend. There were 3 Trailmanors there. He had welded a metal mud guard on his TM that looked like it would really minimize any tire damage if a blow out occurred. Anyone else done something like that?

There is an old thread where some did the cage mod. Don't remember who it was.
