lol Heck, I've never set foot in any RV. Just a dumb retired Submariner that has come to this site for 3+ years to learn about portable electrical generators... and I've learned a lot!
Sorry I butted in with the suggestion of using an open ended wrench - actually the correct tool but if there is no room, of course it was a dumb idea on my part.
If you think your RVs are cramped and sometimes hard to work in, I could swap Submarine access stories with you I suspect.
You made a good suggestion and since you have not had the fun of removing a Atwood drain plug you would not have any way to know that it is in a really hard place to get to.
I am barely able to get my hand in there to start threading in the plug.. Basically holding the plug with two fingers then twisting..
As far as swapping sub stories, never had the pleasure of being on board of one, but I have multiple times toured the USS North Carolina battleship in Wilmington NC.. Pretty amazing to see what our Service men went through to keep us free!
My Dad spent several tours of duty on the USS Macon Georgia as a Machinist mate, so I really have a appreciation and soft spot for folks who gave up their time and often lives.. He taught me a bunch about DIY wrenching.
