any harm having my valve assemblies exposed to weather (mostly rain or wet road conditions)? i have my valves right under the doors on my burb and its raining here in so cal...im noticing that one of my dumps is sticking or something...it sometimes doesn't stop dumping even when im off the dump switch. i was thinking of making a splash plate or something to at least alleviate direct water contact from the road..any help appreciated...thanks in advance..

It shouln't be that big a deal. Most valves are built for industrial abuse, so a little water shouldnt hurt anything. I've done several setup, my own included, with valves under the truck with no problems. Go back through and check on your wiring, make sure you dont have any issues there. Also, it is possible that you've got some debris in the valve....dirt, stray piece of teflon tape..whatever..causing it to stick..

That is really going to be dependent on the type of valve you are running... some valve styles do not like moisture debris ect... that is why some people run water traps and filters... other valve types just do no care what the heck is passing through them.
