Fresh water tank drain valve replacement

[lboyd]

I just purchased a 2003 25' Safari. I know there has been alot of discussion regarding this but how do you replace the fresh water tank drain valve (the cheap plastic one)? I've removed the two screws from the flange but it seems that there must be a clamp on the barbed fitting inside the tank housing. That brings up another question. Is the tank housed in a protective outer shell? Do you access the tank itself from inside the trailer? Do I have to drop the tank from below the trailer?

If it is like ours, there should be a cover plate right next to the valve on the underside. Just take the screws off and you can get to the short hose.

My cheap plastic drain plug is broken. Did you replace yours and with what?
