Amen to that statement but does anyone here think we'll see salesmen ever give a complete introduction to the customer's new trailer in our lifetime(s).
First requirement would be for the salesman (or designated delivery person) to actually know all the items themselves.
I'd bet that half them don't even know what low point drains are as an example.
For old-timers that have had trailers for years it's not so bad. For someone brand new to RV's it's a whole different issue.
Some dealers do a better job than others. The dealer i bought my last trailer from had a "specialist" that performed the delivery walk-through. The dealer scheduled a delivery time and allowed two hours for the process. I've got to say this individual did a pretty good job of pointing out where everything an owner would NORMALLY encounter and how it was used.
The rest of the country? Horror stories abound
As for the tube that drains water when tank is full, it's safe to assume it's an overflow/vent. Would be nice to put a label on or near to point that out.
I wish my tank was vented in the same way instead of a small tube incorporated in the gravity fill inlet. Tube's too small and if tanks are filled too quickly they swell and possibly break support mounts. A 1/2" tube connected at the top of the tank does a lot better job.
In my opinion though these tubes should have a screen on the end to prevent possibility of bugs crawling in or road dirt/dust contaminating tank.
