Default Toilet dump valve

OK..... I'm on a mission......

New Mod.........

I have an idea for a release lever for the inside toilet dump valve lever. You know.....the one on the front of the toilet that you pull (or should pull) before folding up the trailer.

I wanted to bounce this idea off of others. This is what I am thinking of:

1. Drill 1" hole in the floor, just below and forward of the flush valve.
2. Install a lever bracket on the floor (or under the floor), just below the valve handle.
3. Put a 8" x 1" x 1/8" flat bar up through the hole.
4. Remove valve handle and attach the top of the flat bar.
5. Attach the center of the flat bar to the lever pivot bracket (#2)
5. Attach a 1/4" rod 2' long to the bottom of the flat bar and extend it to the outside of the trailer.

Theory....... Pull the rod from the outside of the trailer to open valve on the bottom of the toilet. Push the rod in, to close the valve.

What do you think?
