Thanks

You might find them behind the rear tires on the passenger side. That's where mine are and from what I have before on this subject, that seems to be the norm

On my coach they are located in the Propane compartment to the left of the tank. There are two lines next to each other. One with the cap is the drain for the fresh water tank while the one with a valve is the low point drain for the system. I'm not sure this will be the same on your 346 but it's a starting point.

Do you remember what size the cap is?
What type of plastic valve did you find and where?

I'm guessing he's talking about a plastic ball valve. I got one at Lowe's to replace the drain cap on my fresh water tank. I just took the cap with me to make sure I got the right size.

Did you ever talk to Forest River? On my unit (2005) the drains are below the water pump and in same compartment as the propane tank. Actually, the access door has "low point drain" sign on it.

I left a message last week but have not heard back from FR. No drains in the Propane tank compartment. I did ask the former owner about where the Low Point drains were and he did not know. He said he just used the outside shower, which is low, to drain the water system, then he would blow the lines out with air.

I never did get a reply from Forest River but did learn that the outside shower is used for the low point drain.

While, like me, you are way out of warranty but....you might call April Conner at 574-206-7603 X103 and see if she can find out for you. She is at their repair center and those folks have worked on all variety of Georgetowns.
She is just a good person and responds well to a kind request.
