Fresh Water Tank Drainage ?

We used to have the same problem with previous campers we've had. On our current Arctic Fox there is a 2" drain for the fresh water tank. It has a similar valve to gray and black tank drain valves.

My old Komfort had the same thing. About 3 minutes from full (45 gal) to dribble, then another 10-15 dripping.

Depending on the situation, I open the fresh water tank, all faucets, and the hot water heater when I'm heading home--yeah, I'm a law breaker. However, when we get to the homestead, most of the water has been shaken out and winterizing is simple.

Law Breaker???

Depending upon the state. In some states it is illegal to dump anything on public roadways, INCLUDING FRESH WATER.

Yep, our A.F. has an 1-1/2" drain valve on our fresh water tank. I have to get out of the way fast when I pull it open. :B

Huge difference from the ridiculous little 3/8" petcock valve to drain the fresh water tank on our previous TT.

30+ gallons takes a long time to exit small drain tube - I open the valve and grab a beverage - not much different than most

I like your style! I have 100 gallons to drain out. Usually a 3 beverage job. But after 3, I care a lot less ;);)

I have the same issue 94 gallons and a 1/2 line. takes at least 3hrs from full

If you have an outside shower area connect a garden hose and turn the pump on 2-3 gallon a minute drain.
