2018 Cardinal 3825 Freshwater tank drain

Friend's with the subject new 5th wheel need to know where the drain access is for the fresh water tank. We've looked without success. Any help for them will be much appreciated.

They have done a good job of concealing it. We looked at rear of the unit on the driver's side and don't see it. There is nothing extending through the bottom chassis cover. Could they have failed to extend the drain tube through the cover?

And, most likely, a cap to unscrew. I promptly disposed of that, and threaded a PVC ball valve onto it. I ended up doing the same for the overflow's as well, as i sometimes travel with full tank of fresh water. first time I did that, my tank was 1/3 down from siphoning out the overflow while travelling. the only thing, is you have to remember to open them when arriving at your campsite, so that overtime you dont collapse your tank.

Ok. Found it halfway between the front tire and front of the coach on the driver's side.

Thanks to all that came to the rescue.
