How to empty fresh water tank without pump?
My water pump is not working and I need to get it replaced. Is there a way to empty the full fresh water tank without the use of a water pump? I have 2018 Forest River sunseeker

But seeing if I can empty it before for better gas mileage
let's assume a 40 us gallon tank. About 300 lbs of water
The weight (measured) of my RV is 13750 lbs. But let's round that down to 13000 lbs.
300/13000 = 2.3%
I think you may be hard pressed to measure the difference in mileage.
Totally agree:) I run with about 50 gallons of H20 with a 70 gallon tank. my Milage doesn't vary with tank 1/4 full or 1//2 full about 1 mile per gallon. I always want water to use bathroom when traveling and on occasion Have pulled over in a rest area in the summer and taken a shower when the weather is hot:) All trailers have a drain peacock or valve on the bottom of the tank. Some valves extend a little below the tank.
