Where is the drain valve(s) for the freshwater tank?

I've looked everywhere and I found plenty of valves but nothing drained the tank.

Is it somewhere underneath the vehicle?

Anyone have any experience using 'air tabs' on their rig? I heard from a follow rver that they help with stability in the wind and make a very slight improvement in MPG. This is a photo example I saw on rv.net if you aren't familiar with them: https://www.rv.net/Forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid...

Question: How often do any of you actually use your generator? and where? and why? It seems like if I am bookdocking somewhere, it would be forbidden or at least faux pas to run it. Selling: If I decide that I would never really need it, I would sell it. Not sure if I am there yet. I'm not sure how ...

I didn't ask specifically why it would need to be replaced over being cleaned but this mechanic has never steered me wrong. I do think that $800 is a bit high. I'm not sure I have the skills to remove the Genset...plus I don't know where I would store it. I'm just not sure if the cost (even if it is...

I have had my rig for over 4 years and I've never really needed the generator. I never used it during that time except to exercise it every month for about 1.5 to 2 hours. It has about 188 hours on it. I had some routine maintenance performed on it when I first got it but other than that it has been...

Everything seems ok now. I guess it was partially frozen and thawed out during the day.

Now the generator will not start...but that is another post


Thanks for all the help/advice.

the overnight low here in Pville was 20. The high today will be about 34 and the low overnight will get to about 24.

I kept the interior warmed to about 60F+ all last night.

I can hook up to my outside faucet. Good idea.

good info. where on the line is the hot water filter located?

No changes on the valves but I double checked it and they look fine.

Everything worked a few weeks ago.

It got cold last night but I kept the cabin warm. Maybe a freeze issue?

The water pump is turned on. I am not connected to the city. My water reservoir is about 2/3 full. The water heater is on and I felt the tank it and it is warm. I do not see any leaks. If I turn the water on the 'kitchen' sink faucet at a cold temperature setting, no problems. If I move the faucet h...

Thanks Ray. Kinda what I figured. I could throw some in the black and/or grey holding tanks but keep it out of the fresh water.

I've never tried drinking the pink antifreeze. Does it go good with fish or steak?

Also, buying food at grocery store, storing it in your rv and cooking it yourself vs. eating out if you travel by car/hotel, can save lots of money as well...plus it's likely healthier.

Here in Texas, we don't usually get below 32F for very long in the winter. Maybe 12-24 hours at a time mostly but it can get down to 20F during that time. In an earlier post I mentioned that during these rare incidents, I usually plug the rv into a garage outlet and run a space heater in it to keep ...

That was always my thought as well. Go higher rather than lower but I will weigh it on each axle and use the chart as a guideline. right now I've got all 6 tires at about 80psi cold.
