geopro 19qb winterizing

hello all, new to the camping and forest river community. we recently purchased our first travel trailer, a geopro 19qb, and LOVE IT.


I've read alot and watched many videos on winterizing the RV, and I have a couple of questions:


1) where are the low point hot/cold water drain tubes? everything I've read says they should be opened, yet I have searched under the trailer and can't find them. does anyone know where they are?


2) our water filter, and water tank bypass is under the bed (from my searching), yet I can't figure out how to remove the drawer under the bed to access them. I can extend the drawer, and can't figure a way out how to remove it. any ideas?


3) is the hose we use to connect to the antifreeze inlet a special hose, or just any old short hose with correct connector?


thanx.



any help on these two are appreciated it.


cheers,


~nomadicdrave

On the drawer rails you will find an operator that you push to release the drawer they are moved in upside directions on the two drawer rails.

Drivers side behind the tire. There will be a sticker on the side of the camper pretty close by.

no special hose for antifreeze, just one that fits snuggly enough on the port so you don't suck air. I've never used mine, I have a compressor and blow my lines and save the antifreeze for the drains and toilet.

holy snikey! as my parents would say "if it was a snake, it would have bit you."


I looked everywhere under the geopro, and didn't see anything, and I am surprised I missed the label showing me where they are... doh!


thank you very much for helping me out.
