lubricating the bearing surface between the rotating

operation. Any spray-type silicone lubricant may be
used.

2 Setscrew
3 Base Plate (Lubrication Point)
Elevate antenna and remove setscrew from rotating
gear housing as shown. Spray lubricant into hole and
around edges of gear housing. Rotate gear housing

Fresh Water tanks and Draining
Drain Valves
Under the trailer are galvanized steel boxes 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.
Drain Valve Locations
The 19 ft. 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, you
may be able to reach them 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.
