Can someone post a picture of their 2008 Voyage water compartment?? On ours when we bought it the valves were positioned so far forward the gray water handle couldn't be pulled out all the way as it hit on the metal panel. The dealer cut out part of the panel so the valve would clear. Problem now is with it being forward it puts a bent in the hose to come down through the access hole. Also the gray water handle is still hard to get your hand on. I just wondered if they all are this way or if at the factory someone put the plumbing for the valve assembly together wrong on ours. Notice the left lower edge of the panel has been cut away and a black molding added to cover the sharp cut edge.

I don't have a Winnebago, but that looks to me like a factory goof. I don't see any reason the valve assembly can't be moved to the right at least as far as what you'd have if you shortened that section of pipe that says "the US" and put the valve flange flush against the next fitting, or further depending on what's outside the picture. It'll mean replacing the outer halves of the dump valves with new pieces (where they transition to the pipe) but they're inexpensive. Extending the left hand pipe an equal amount will be either easy or difficult depending on how much has to be disassembled to get access to it.
I checked out the factory plumbing print and looks like the factory goofed and put the long nipple on the wrong side. I think it's a Winnie goof so I'll let them fix it as the print calls for. It's still under warranty till late next spring. By then I may have more things to fix or adjust. Like the bathroom wall the door is attached to, about 3' of wall is loose at the bottom like it's not fastened to the floor. Some times I think it was built on a Sunday while the bosses were in church.

Ok .. thanks for the guidance - I have tried to do that with a couple photos but they didn't apparently go through.... I was getting no response at all after i attached the 2 photos and hit "post"....
I'll try it again with just the one photo this time... and send the second one separately...
Here's the photo of the dump valve compartment on my Voyage 35A ... very convienent to use....
The cord outlet hanging on the left is the heavy duty extension cord I ran into this compartment so i can have a heater running in that compartment if temp gets down to teens or below .....
Latest on this .. error message popped up that attachment is too large..... apparently I'll have to go back and take photo with lower MP ... ??
The photo "properties" says it's 2.0 MB in size....

Aye, that's too big. You can use one of various free image re-sizers. If you use an image manipulation program, it may have a re-size capability. The max file size is shown on the screen when attach anything to a message, before you click Post.

Welcome to The RV Forum!!
Thanks for the pictures. Looks much easier to get at left handle than what mine is. I have an appointment at the dealer in a couple weeks to fix a few items, but I think I'll save that plumbing job for the factory. We'll spend most the winter in the south in it, so I'm sure we'll have added a few needed fixes and adjustments to the list by spring. I'll make a spring appointment at the factory and have the rest of the list taken care of there.WhiteEagle said:

What I hate is having to crouch down to get into the hookups for water and drains. I end up all hunched over to get under those doors, they open straight out but not up like the other bay doors. I think I will get me a little stool to sit on. I'm pretty agile, but those are killers on me.

Check on the right side of each panel door... there should be a wire / strap that can be unhooked to let the bay door go up...
