Low Point Drains "Locked"
I have a Coachmen Freelander 29QB.
Late last fall, I "winterized", opening the low point and fresh tank drains located under the foot of the rear bed.
A few weeks later, we took the RV out and I closed all of the drains. When they reach their "stop", I heard a "click" from each drain although I didn't pay too much attention to it at the time.
Now, I'm under the bed for another reason and seeing the low point drains, casually try to open them. They won't open.
Each of the handles moves each way a little bit, then hits a hard stop.
I presume that they build these drains with a latch so that they won't vibrate open, but whatever the key to opening them is, I can't find it.
Anybody have an idea or know the answer?
Thanks,
Tim
