    Did you take apart the external valve and dry the pipes out with paper towel. That is the only way I can think that they would know about moisture in the back . I carry a 16 ft pole and can swab around the dome lid up and down the tank. If the tank was hot it might have sweated some more after you closed it up

    Just loosen that big wing nut looking thing and you can remove that clamp and take the whole valve out. I never take apart the nut on the shaft but there is some packing material in there that can be replaced if you have a leak.

    Ours are stainless. There is a clamp that holds the round external valve to the trailer. It's the last one that you open to unload. If you take that clamp off that entire valve assembly comes out for cleaning. I believe the clamp is called a QRD clamp.
