drain valve location

Help. I cannot find a drain valve for the FW tank on the outside or the inside. 1980 International 25' with FW tank between axles. Any chance that it never had one?

Not likely....

I don't they would have moved the location, the white plastic is the tank drain, the two petcocks the low point drains for the lines, check here, streetside between the wheels.

My '97 Safari is in the same location as shown in Robert Cross' picture.

Maybe check in the less visible corners of the trailer, such as under the vanity. On my 21' Globetrotter (1977) there are two, under the vanity in a relatively inaccessible corner of the trailer... Hope that helps.

I don't believe you have a freshwater tank drain on your 1980. It came later. We had to use pump to empty FW tank through the 70s and into the 80s. 1985 sticks in my mind, but it could be an FRM (false recovered memory).
