Drainage (Fresh Water)
All permanent fresh water tanks can be drained. Three
types of drains are used, (1) a push/pull (shown), (2) a
turn valve with open/close position, and (3) a cap
attached to a plastic fitting below the trailer. An open
end wrench, one inch nut size, is required to loosen the
cap.
To drain the supply lines and the entire system, you need to follow
the steps listed on following page. Locate the valve placed at the
floor level or close to the floor, found under the dinette, storage
cabinet, and sofa. These valves will be at the “lowest” point of the
water lines.
