Fresh Water Drain

[Gary Linda]

Hi. Bought an Rpod 171 late last fall. Took possession after the dealer had a major shop fire. So did not get the greatest intro to it. Weather was cool and very windy.
While getting ready for this years first trip, I noticed that the fresh water drain and the low point hot/cold water did not have valves/taps, but just a plug.
Question is: Show there be a proper drain valve/tap in all of them. Like there was in my A122?

My Wildcat has screw on/off caps. Some folks here replace those ends with valves.

Same here on my FR3. Just plugs

Interesting. My A122 Aframe had valves. I saw another post with valve information and size. 1/2 NPT valve. Will try them.
Also wonder why there is no access to the under seat storage. Like no door access, just remove cushions!! Again the A122 had 2 door access, inside and outside.
Thanks for your responses.

Yep on the under seat storage. A waste of space. Check out this thread and see ALL of the suggested improvements, including a fix for that: http://www.forestriverforums.com/for...ons-84721.html

Take one of the drain plugs to a big box hardware store. Get an NPT to PVC adapter then add a PVC 1/4 turn valve. You will most likely need three. H7C low point drains and fresh water Tank Drain.
