DRAIN VALVES
Freshwater drain valves consists of low point water line drain valves and fresh-
water tank drain valves. The valves are in-line or petcock type valves.
If you look under a trailer you can see boxes made from galvanized steel that
are a 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 widest part of the oval valve
handle aligns with the water line.
Locations of the drain valves are as follows:
The 19 foot Bambi low point water line drain valves are located in two different
places. Two are located under the rear bed and access has been provided in
the bed top under the mattress. (If you are long and lanky, they can be reached
through the exterior storage compartment.) The other two line drain valves
are located under the roadside dinette seat. The water tank drain valve is also
located under the same roadside dinette seat.
The 20 foot model has a pair of hot and cold water line drain valves located
under the front dinette seat and another pair accessed through the rear exterior
access door. Remove the foam cushion and there are two access holes cut in
the seat. It has the fresh water tank drain, a white petcock, on the exterior tank
pan under the trailer on the roadside rear.
The 23 foot model has a fresh water tank drain, a white petcock, on the tank
pan under the trailer between the roadside tires. It also has two low point hot
and cold water line drain valves located under the bed. They can be reached
through a hole in the bed top or through the exterior access door in the rear of
the trailer.
The 23 foot Front Bed model has a fresh water tank drain, a white petcock,
under the trailer on the tank pan in front of the roadside tires. It also has two
water line low point drain valves located inside the pantry cabinet behind the
removable lower face panel. The panel is held on by two pressure catches and
can be removed by pulling straight out on the panel.
The 25 foot front bed, the 28 foot rear bed, and the 27 foot front bed has two
exterior water line low point drain valves, brass pet cocks, extending from the
bottom of the exterior freshwater tank pan. A separate white plastic petcock
located on the same pan is to drain the water tank.
The 30 foot Front Bed model has two low point drain valves accessed by
removing the rear dinette seat cushion and reaching through the hole cut in the
seat bottom. It has the fresh water tank drain, a white petcock, on the exterior
