A lot of water tanks have the fittings welded into the sides of the tank. Some room is needed for the process to work. Not sure they really needed that much room though.
I have flushed my tanks in previous RVs. Leave the drain open, connect the water hose to the inlet, let it flow for a while.
That doesn't help those wanting a completely dry tank for Winter storage. Short of putting a siphon tube into one of the tank's fittings, and drawing it out that way, don't have a solution.
I did want to add the user manual for this RV sucks. I had to climb underneath to discover where the drain was located for my tank. On the left side of the pic, a blue tube with a white cap.
Others told me to simply look at the water tank for the drain line.
Yep, there it is, completely hidden from view by the inverter. I could see the overflow tube though.
I do plan on moving the inverter, and adding a drain valve to the line. That will let me get out of the way before dumping the water.
