I'm not having problems yet but when I do how do I locate the dump valves on a '24 Paradigm 310RL?
Either measurements, a schematic or a top down photo of the 310RL in production before flooring would be nice.
Thank you

I would contact alliance customer service with your model and vin requesting those positions.

Crawl under and look. My 23 340 had square pieces of corplast screwed directly under the gate valves. You will have to make a hole but hopefully small enough that said piece can cover it

Thanks Bozo and John.
Alliance sent back a "Frame Diagram" that depicts the location of the waste and fresh tanks and a hint of the valve locations but no dimensions. They also mentioned John's statement about the patches.
I'm satisfied.

I am assuming 1 of the 3 "grey" tanks is actually the black tank?

On the 340 it is the front right tank that’s black and the one to the left also running front to back is the shower gray. I am not sure if the 310 is the same because of the location of the stairs being on the camp side where as the 340 has them on the off camp side

From Alpha, the maker of the tanks, they mark them as Grey and Fresh. The Grey can be used for Black or Grey. In the example above with the side-by-side tanks - one is used for black. I'm not sure why we don't change the labeling in our CAD system.

Just wondering if you have cut into your underbelly what kind of tape, if any, did you use to reseal the cut. Also has anyone taped up the underbelly just to make it more secure from critters and water.

This works well for sealing the coroplast

So as far as I can tell, no one has identified exactly which one is the black tank?

Thanks for the info. I have a gap on the front drivers side. I was going to put a screw in it but the propane line is there. Also I couldn’t see on the other side of the I-beam so I was afraid the electrical wires were there. So tape it is.

You may consider doing this. I am cutting my coroplast into sections, so I can remove and reinstall easier by my self. I am also inspecting the frame welds, before my structural warranty is expired. You may also find a huge bundle of wiring, laying in the middle on your coroplast. I am zip tying that mess to the frame.

I'm going to put in some waaterproof inspection hatches in a couple of areas .... under the AutoLevel sensor, under the fresh tank Mopeka sensor that I'm going to install (needs battery replaced every couple of years or so). I got (stole) that idea from some others on here.

Mopeka Sensors for the black, gray, and water tanks. Why didn't I think of that! Excellent idea! I use them now on my propane tanks on the RV and at home. I also like the inspection hatch idea as well. How will you be mounting the sensors to the tanks?

For now, I'm only going to do the fresh tank. Mopeka says not as accurate in black and grey due to the solids in the tank. However, I've read that some have tried it and have been pleased with the results.... It will be a question I'll ask around at the rally to those that have done it .. and I may pick up another couple and add to the to-do list.

What kind of feedback did you get at the rally?

Can you tell me which is black tank, kitchen tank, and bathroom tank. I’d like to mark up diagram with this info for future reference. Thanks.
