few inches lower than the trailer frame. These boxes
are insulated exterior tank pans and they support the
freshwater and holding tanks. Petcocks open with a 1/4
turn, line drain valves are open when the handle aligns

Drain Valve Locations

The 16-ft. model has two drain valves that are located
under the roadside dinette seat. Remove the cushions
to access a removable panel in the lounge top.
The 22-ft. Front Bed valves are located under the bed
on the roadside. Access is provided by an access
door cut in the seat bottom and bed top. Two other low
point valves are located under the wardrobe. Access
is gained by removing the felt covered lower wardrobe
shelf.

Fresh Water Tank Draining

Pumping the water out with the self-contained water
pump can empty the fresh water tank. Simply turn on
the pump switch and open a couple of faucets until the
water will no longer drain out, or on all models except
the 16 ft., use the petcock-type drain valve located on
the freshwater tank pan. Be sure to watch closely and
turn the pump off when the tank runs dry.
CAUTION
Do not let the pump run dry for extended periods of
time as this could damage the pump.

Water Heater Draining

All models have a drain plug or petcock on the water
heater. Access is from the exterior. The plug or valve is
usually located in the lower-left corner, viewed as you
face the exterior of the water heater.
