Fresh Water Tank and Draining
Drain Valves
Under the trailer is a galvanized steel box that is a
few inches lower than the trailer frame. This box is an
insulated exterior tank pan and supports the freshwater
and holding tanks. On the roadside of this steel box
are two low point drain valves and the fresh water
tank drain valve. Petcock valves open with a 1/4 turn,
line drain valves are open when the widest part of the
handle aligns with the water line.
Fresh Water Tank Draining
The freshwater tank drain valve on all units is located
under the trailer on the freshwater tank pan. A white
plastic petcock is located on the side of the pan for
draining the water tank. All faucets should be opened
before attempting to drain the tank by opening the
petcock�
Pumping the water out with the self-contained water
pump can also empty the fresh water tank. Simply turn
on the pump switch until the water will no longer drain
out of the faucets.
CAUTION
Do not let the pump run dry for extended periods of
time as this could damage the pump.
Water Heater Draining
The Basecamp has a drain lever located on the water
heater, accessed from under the roadside dinette seat.

drainage socket. To close, move the lever 90° so that is
