My 2000 with queen bed has the pump and drain valves for the water tank and hot and cold water lines behind a panel at the foot of the bed. Don't know if yours is similar.

I have the same problem; how does one drain the fresh water tank? On the street-side, below the fill door/receptacle, underneath between the tandem wheels are two pet-cocks......are these THE only drain?

I have found that even with the drain open on my litle 25gal tank, it takes a huge amount of time as the water seems to just piddle out of the tank....and it IS vented!

My solution is to open your gray tank valve, open a faucet or 2 and turn on your water pump. If you have a high flow pump (mine is 4gpm) you will empty your tank in no time at all!

Try it......you'll LIKE it!
