Fresh Water Tank Drain Valve

OK, I hope this is a simple question...
I have a 2019 Force HD 37TS. Where is the fresh water tank drain valve?
My wet bay has hot and cold water drain valves, but I am guessing this is only for water in the lines.
I have seen advice about opening these, and turning on the water pump, but I question whether this will really drain the tank. I’ve also seen advice about turning on the outside shower, and turning on the water pump, but have the same concern. Also, I am sure there is crud in the tank, and it’s probably better not to run that through the pump.
There must be a valve for a gravity drain of the tank somewhere, right?
Like I said, I hope it’s a simple question...
Thanks.

in our BH model, the fresh water tank drain is in the propane cabinet.

I'm not near our unit but I recall it being located in one of the drivers side compartments forward within the compartment. Ours is labeled.

Thanks, but not in the wet bay, and not in the propane bay.
The hunt continues!
Anybody have a 2019 HD 37TS? Would be nice to know where it is supposed to be.

Have you located your fresh water tank itself?

I believe the fresh water tank is below the bed in the back of the unit. When I look under the camper, I see some tubes coming down from under that area. These may be vents, or a place where the tank would drain, but there are no valves there.

The fresh water tank is below the bed. Have you lifted up the bed and opened the panel below it? that should give you access to the tank and likely the valve.
