in the three motorhomes I've owned there've been two types of dump valves. the first is pretty simple. the gate is controlled by simply pulling the handle located on the pipe. the other is a handle located somewhere else that is connected to the dump gate via a wire cable. if you have that type of valve the cable may have disconnected from the gate itself. you can usually tell if the handle pulls out really easily with no indication of resistance. if that's the case then you'll need to remove the panel on which those handles are mounted and reconnect the cable.
