To drain the fresh water holding tank and
supply lines:
1. Open all faucets, including the outside
shower faucet.
2. Open the “fresh tank drain” valve.
All permanent fresh
water tanks can be
drained by one of two
types of drain valve: a
white plastic drain is
attached to the exterior
wall (open valve to
drain) or a valve located
inside the RV adjacent
to the water tank (this
knob turns 45° to open
or close).
1. Open the “low point
drains”
As their name indicates,
they will be at the lowest
point of water lines. A
label is placed on the
outside of the RV to
indicate where the
drains are located. The drains will typically
need to be opened from inside the trailer.
Once the label is found on the exterior
sidewall, go inside the RV to find the
corresponding location of the drains.
2. Turn ON the water pump and allow it to
run as needed.
3. Operate the toilet flush lever until water
stops flowing.
4. Open all faucets, including the outside
shower faucet.
5. Make sure your “water heater bypass”
valve is open.
6. Relieve the water pressure using the P&T
valve BEFORE removing the water heater
drain plug. Otherwise, if there is any water
pressure present the water will spray out
of the opening when the drain plug is
removed.
When you are finished draining the fresh
water system, reverse these steps and dump
the grey and black water holding tanks at an
appropriate facility or according to local public
codes.

Potable water systems require periodic
maintenance to deliver a consistent flow of
fresh water. For your personal safety, the
plumbing system should be sanitized when
your RV is new, at the beginning and end of
each season and when the water system
becomes contaminated (or approximately
every three months of use).
Failure to sanitize the potable water
system could result in death or serious
illness.
