Where is the fresh water tank drain

I have a 2004 Fleetwood Revolution and can not locate the fresh water tank drain. Does anyone know where it is?

  • Trackrig - thanks for the info, I'll take a look.

    FormerBoater - That's what the lady at Flletwood was telling me to use.
  • My 98 American Eagle has cold and hot water drains in the water compartment.

    Clearly labeled.
  • I have a 2005 Fleetwood Excursion 39S so hopefully it's close to yours. The drain was very hard to find on mine also. All of the water and electrical connections are on the left side of the MH EXCEPT for the fresh water drain. It's on the right side a little over half way back. Get down to where you can see below the storage bins and it should be sticking down slightly below and behind the bins. Then the ball valve for it is up in the storage bin near the top of the bin.

    Now this is the strange part. When I went to drain my tank to winterize it, my driveway has a very slight slant to it. The tank was over half full but would not drain so I kept doubting whether I'd found the right drain and valve or not. I finally used the levelers to get it perfectly level and then the tank started draining. I'd take a picture for you, but the MH is a long ways away.

  • My drain valve is in the top right hand corner of where the propane tank is located.
  • Well, I call Fleetwood. The person I talked with said that the American and Revolution coachs didn't have drains until about 2012. She suggested opening the hot/cold water low drains and run the pump. I know that will work, kinda slow but ... no drain valve?
  • Maybe try Google search or YouTube. We've found them to be a wealth of information as we still consider ourselves as "newbies" found the manuals for my fridge, micro-convection oven...etc
  • Thanks for the seggestions.

    yrusoslo - The manual is very generic and only states that there is a valve on the tank but no picture or diagram. I'm a little suprised by this as we traded a 2000 Fleetwood Pace Arrow and its manual was way more specific and had pictures.

    nelson - I was talking to a service tech at the dealer we bought it from a couple of days ago. He said it was probably in one of the passanger side bays but for the life of me I can not find it.

    et2 - Its not located in the utility bay, I have looked that over very carfully. It has the fresh water city hookup and cold water low drain but no tank drain.
  • Try the water bay? Where the water hose gets connected. Our's on the Expedition is there on bottom left corner. Has a big red T handle. Connected to about a 1" PVC pipe.
  • If you can find the tank check the bay's under the tank on both sides. My Damon had one on each side in the bays.
