Hemisphere 23rbhl Low Point Drains

I just bought a 2017 Salem Hemisphere 23rbhl. I've located the fresh water drain with open and close valve.. and the fresh water over flow.
Where are the low point drains? On other campers I've owned.. I would see two drains.. usually red and blue.
Any idea where they might be on this model?

Nearly all RVs with cold and hot water lines, have low point drains.

I agree... I'm going to do a thorough search. Some folks said they are kinda hidden on other Salem models.

On our 2002 SOB, the low-point drains are actually inside, at the very bottom of a cabinet. You pull out a drawer and turn them from inside. Just little stubs underneath.

I have the same model. The two low point drains are on the slide out side near the back most wheel. You have to get down and look up under the trailer

Just to follow up.. in case someone else is looking for the low point drains on a Salem Hemisphere 23rbhl (Or the Wildwood 23rbhl)... I finally found them. You guys are right!!! Had to lay on my back, on the ground. The drains are on the drivers side of the camper... just behind the wheels. Find the black and grey water dump valves.. then look up under the camper. You can't see them standing up.. or just leaning over.. you must get down on the ground and look up under the camper. (This is a 2017)Click image for larger version
