1st time sanitizing holding tank for 2024 Coachmen Euro

Just purchased the 2024 Coachmen Euro, and am sanitizing the holding tank for the First time. I’m having trouble, though, locating both the drain plug at the bottom of the holding tank as well as the water by-pass valve for the Furrion tankless water heater. Any suggestions and/or links to follow up with?

Thanks in advance.

The tankless water heaters don't have a bypass valve, at least the one in my Wolf Pup doesn't. I haven't had any problems sanitizing or winterizing while running sanitizer or antifreeze through the water heater. Look underneath for a gate valve, probably with a white handle. Might be near the low point drains.

Moved thread from the General Tech and Repair section to the Coachmen Motorhomes sub-forum for better help from other Coachmen owners and possible factory support.

Found the water heater’s by-pass valves but still have not located the plug(s) to drain the fresh water from the Euro’s holding tank. (I never had an issue finding these under my former rigs.). Any ideas, y’all?

Are.they making these things so complicated a person can't open the fresh water low point drain valve and turn on the pump to empty the tank?

SO far, that’s the way it seems. It’s exasperating.

I'm not overly familiar with the class A,B,C type vehicles, but is it possible that the fresh tank is "inside" the vehicle and there is a drain valve near it?
Or do you have one of those overly complicated "all in one" panels that controls all the black/grey/fresh/city water functions?

My Class C Sunseeker, beloved and old, can only drain the fw tank by opening its low point drain and turning on the pump. The pump will drain all but a few drops from the tank. There is a plug on top of the tank which I've never opened in 18 years but I cannot imagine what it's there for.
