2018 Micro Minnie 2106DS Tank Valve Layout

On our 2018 model we have a leak in the black water tank valve. If cleaning and flushing dont correct the issue, does anyone have a photo of the actual piping on this model? This would be great before cutting the bottom cover material.
I have seen the one photo of the gray water tank valve, so what exactly does the black tank valve consist of? Two gates? Or is the diagram simply for reference only?

The black tank has a single gate valve.

Here's a couple pictures from my 2106DS.

The first picture shows the black tank piping and gate valve with the gray tank gate valve and piping in the background.

The second picture shows the gray tank piping and gate valve in relation to the black tank piping and its gate valve.

Thanks a bunch! That clears up a lot of questions. Photos always make things simpler than ever!

2106ds tank dump valves

Also, I see that you have placed a third gatevalve on the output. That is an excellent idea since you can control any effluent at the end of the line. I will eventually place one with a clear tube just to monitor the situation (attached photo). My only issue is the new valve extends farther out and will require shortening the gray/black tube to clear anything.
Also, with the added hose and spray option, cleaning water can be sprayed upstream into the tank drains. Again, Amozon or other.
Again, thanks for the photos, I am hoping I wont have to dig into the valves.

Yea, the twist-on gate valves extend past the side of the camper.

This is the gate valve I installed. I cut the discharge pipe back far enough so the new gate valve wouldn't extend past the side of the camper when I cemented it on.

This third gate valve catches any leakage from the black and gray tank valves. Now, when I remove the end cap to install the dump hose, I don't have a surprise discharge if the tank valves have leaked. This would happen from time to time, before I installed the third gate valve.

I also use this clear 45 degree twist-on adaptor between the gate valve and dump hose so I can keep and eye on things.
