Hello, I am newbie and just got a 2015 leprechaun 280ds - any idea where the fresh water drain might be located? Thanks for any assistance

Look at your FW tank and see where the drain line heads off to.

If this is brand new, ask the dealer where you bought it.And if you don't have an owners manual or three, get them from the dealer too.....or get instructions to locate them on the net and print them out.And this is NOT just a smart assed remark. The odds of finding another owner with your exact model is rather slim.....and then he has to know more about it than you do.

Thank you the quick responses. Learning quickly

Most owners manuals are going to be generic in nature and will probably cover the whole range of models within the series. And, probably will not indicate where the drains are.What your looking for will be, usually, 3 lines that will be comming stright down from the floor. Sometimes colored, red white blue. They will be the drains for the cold water line, hot water line, and fresh water tank. They may or may not have a push on or screw on cap. If you can follow the lines up into the body, somewhere in the line you may or may not find a cutoff valve/lever that opens the line to drain water. The caps, if there, are just that, a cap. The valve itself would be/should be somewhere inside the coach.You'll just have to get under and search.Can't be more helpful as each manufacturer places them in different locations....no standardisation. The fresh water tank drain should be somewhere very near the tank itself, and exiting under the coach.Hope it helps a bit.Grumpy

Mine were quite an adventure in locating. On our 2008 Coachmen they were inside, under the drawer that's under the oven. A small "Low Point Drain" sign was nearby but at floor level.
