A122 black valve near water tank
We have a 2015 A122; this is a great A-frame camper that is used about 42 days during the summer in Wisconsin. Under the trailer, next to the fresh water tank are two valves (white & black). The white one I use to drain the fresh water tank. The black one has a spout for draining, but turning the valve nothing happens. What is it's purpose. Also could this valve we used to winterize the water system by attaching a hose and an anti-freeze bottle, then turning on the water pump? Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, the A122 is in winter storage, and I cannot get at it. I have been searching for a A122 plumbing diagram, but have not found one.

I have the same valve. Not sure of it’s purpose. Even my dealer didn’t know how it could help with winterizing.
The white valve is low point. What’s the secret?

blue one and red one are both drain valves for winterizing...pull...do not twist the levers...
they are both black on the bottom of the camper...and full of sealant...low point drain valves

Thanks - but the valves I am referring to are under the trailer and not the blue and red valves, which are inside the A122 and used for winterizing.

I think it’s a bypass for winterizing.
I found some info on the FR website.

I found a link that shows these as a bypass valve to separate the fresh water tank.

Sorry.... what do you mean by the highlighted phrase? Separate from what?
