Drain Valves

[PCStrope]

There are two drain valves on the bottom of my travel trailer marked "Low Point Drain". What are these for?
They're not for the fresh water tank. This drain is supposed to be for that.

They are cold water lines ( blue) and hot water lines (Red). They will drain ( via gravity) much of the water from the water lines, but not all of it. You need to open hot and cold faucets. You will need to blow out and /or add antifreeze if it gets below freezing where you live. I recommend you replace the screw on caps with 1/4 turn valves. This will make future draining much easier.

These are for draining the hot and cold water from the whole RV. Open all your faucets and the hot water heater drain and then remove these caps and all the water should drain out. You should do this after each trip.

Thanks. This information has been very helpful. Too bad the owners manual couldn't have been this specific.

I think the common consensus on many RV owner's manuals is that they make good kindling.

Take the caps off and install a pvc ball valve......a lot easier to drain.
