Drain Valves

Drain valve locations are listed below by model;
however, it may be helpful to know how to locate them
should this information become outdated due to a
change mid-production.
To locate internal low-point drain valves:
1� Look for a water line (usually white, red, or blue)
protruding from the exterior underbelly. It will be a
bare line with no valve. There may be two or more.
2� Establish a reference point to something inside the
trailer, such as a window or vent.
3� Once inside, use your reference point to locate
where the water line comes out of the floor. Trace
the water line to the nearby low-point drain valve
connection�
You can find where water lines come through the floor
and locate valves by removing access panels inside or
under furniture near your reference point; others are
accessible by removing a drawer or opening a cabinet/
compartment door. Sometimes access to internal
valves is gained externally from inside a storage
compartment.
To locate external fresh water tank valve(s), look for
a white PVC petcock valve or in-line brass valve(s)
mounted to the galvanized steel underbelly.

Opening and Closing Valves

To open brass or plastic in-line valves, turn the handle
to align it with the waterline. For valves connected to
the end of a water line, align the handle with the valve's
opening. To open petcock valves, turn the handle
perpendicular to the mounting surface until it is facing
outward.

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 use the white petcock-
type and/or brass type drain valve(s) located on the
freshwater tank pan. Be sure to watch closely and turn
the pump off when the tank runs dry.
Do not let the pump run dry for extended periods of
time as this could damage the pump.
