Thank you guys for your suggestions. This morning I got under the RV with both front slides out. I was able to locate a removable panel on the side of the water tank compartment. Inside I see a small tank about 30 to 36 inches long connected with a hose at the bottom to another tank to the front of it. The fresh water fill hose is connected at this end. I can't see enough to know whether there are two more tanks or one more tank. About 9 or 10 feet forward of this tank, through my front cargo bay door there is a small hole where I can see the front end of another fresh water tank, where the drain valve attaches. That 30 to 36 inch rear tank that is visible can easily be removed through the access panel that I have open without any problem, but I wonder whether the tank or tanks ahead of it will fit through the same hole???
Has anyone else with a 2003 Southwind 36B or something similar had any experience with this? I have taken a number of pictures by sliding my digital camera around the tank to see that all of the connections on top of the visible part of the tank are intact and dry.
My next move is to drain the tanks and start trying to remove them.
