After my first camping trip in my new Motorhome, I wanted to empty my hot water tank. I turned on the hot water taps until nothing came out. I also removed the red cap on the drain line underneath the RV. Nothing came out of this line. Later on I had to flush out the tank so I released the pressure valve and removed the white plug on the actual tank heater.( its an Atwood) Loads of water came gushing out. So my question is do i really have to remove the plug every time I want to empty the hot water tank. Why does the water not drain when I opened the re cap on drain line?
Thanks in advance for any help.
