Here is a question I should have asked the tech who gave us a run down of everything in our RV when we bought it - but it didn't occur to us....He showed us where the yellow lever valve is under the bed in the master bedroom that you use to dump the contents of the potable fresh water tankWhat he didn't say though was WHERE the water is dumpedDoes it just open a valve under the RV that spills the water out onto the road (or wherever the RV happens to be standing at the time...)Or...Does it dump into the RV's grey water tankWe have a 2007 Itasca Impulse C31 (which is a Winnebago under the covers)Thanks for any help anyone can give usChris

In my Phoenix Cruiser and I imagine almost all RV's it dumps out onto the ground. I have 2 small hoses that purge the tank out.

Thanks for the swift replies which are appreciatedI guess I need to get under the RV and see where the outlet for the tank is and attach a hose to dump it into a drain...Chris

Our 5er has a drain valve pointing down from the FW tank. But after looking at the tank and valve, I noticed the outflow line is connected to the tank along the bottom side, and not along the bottom. I will now drain my tank while sitting on a cross slope.

Many places don't object to dumping fresh water on the ground. (Of course, there are others that do). If you're in your own driveway, it's no different than rinsing something off with a hose.Often it's just a little bit of tubing sticking down where the water comes out, and not something that's particularly easy to attach a hose to. You might be able to park over a drain with a bit of care, or rig up a funnel somehow.
