Low Point Drains

I began winterizing my 5th wheel and I can't find the low point drains. I have one drain underneath with a valve that empties the Potable Water tank. I have a Potable water tank overflow tube underneath on the passenger side with a sticker that says Low Point Drain but no shut off valve. I know this is the Potable overflow tube because I've overfilled the Potable tank and that's the tube the water comes out. I have another overflow tube next to the Potable Water drain and I don't know what it's for. Nothing has ever come out of that tube. Probably Gray tank but not sure. Neither overflow tubes have valves. No other drains are under the camper. Any ideas where the low point Hot and Cold drains would be?

  • mine are color coded red and blue. Not sure if all trailers are or not. Even the hose tails hanging under the trailer are color coded.
  • Looks like it would be real easy to remove a few screws and drop the belly down enough to see where the hoses go.
  • Mine are just two pieces of pvc with 1/2 in plugs on the end that barely hang below the bottom of the subfloor. They are both located near the lowest water pipe in the trailer. In my case near the hot water heater.
  • Look for a valve, probably with a handle you pull up, in a cabinet or behind a removable handle, inside, directly above where the tube is.
