Valve for draining freshwater tank

In July 2015 we bought a 2015 Forest River Solera 24 S. We still are searching for the drain valve for fresh water tank. Manual was not model specific. Customer service at Forest River is trying to help, but no resolution yet. Can anyone enlighten us?

  • Someone on the Forester Forum finally came up with the location. Thanks!
    Look in the rear driver's side bin; you will see the back wall is actually a lift up door. Drain valves are in there.
  • I see DAS beat me to it. Yes please reply as there are others with the same issue.
  • Try this. turn the winterizing switch to all positions and see if that drains the tank. Please reply with your results. Got this from the Forest River Forum.
  • Have you looked at the water tank (mine is under the end of the queen bed in a Four Winds Majestic 27G). The valve is on the end of the tank and drains down directly under the RV, so you have to lift up the mattress and take the wooden cover off for access - bad design! Just about to modify the bed surround for a access hole to get my hand in to make things easy next winter.
  • Is there a blue water line next to the water filter? Dropping through to the underside of MH? If so, is there a valve in it?
  • Some models have the drain valve on the outside wall of the camper sticking out like a small spigot. It would be on the side near the water tank's location. Others have them on a line leaving the water tank before the water pump. Hope this helps.
