From what I can find on line, it has three air tanks. Two between the frame rails over the front axle and the third about three feet further back, still between the frame rails and on the passengers side. If I were to go under to look at the tanks, I'd go in behind the passenger front tire.
What they did on my MH, a 2005 Fleetwood Excursion, is they ran three lanyards up to the front that you pull on to drain the tanks. They sit beside the generator on the passenger frame rail. You have too raise the "hood" to get to them
Gillig air tank clicky
Bill
I did not get a notification of your post. Is your 2005 on a Gillig chassis?
I will have to crawl back under to check for the third tank, this is what I found.
Stopped raining to day and I crawled under the Motor Home and this is what I found.
Between the frame rails in the front in back of the front axle.
Both tanks.

Left (driver’s side) tank

Left (driver’s side) front valve

Left (driver’s side) rear valve

Right side (passenger side) tank

Front valve right side passenger tank

Rear fitting right side passenger tanks

Valve up between the two tanks.

I traced some of the lines and found a mess at the end of one of them. It appears someone added a line that ended in a shut off valve and an air chuck quick release fitting. It comes off the bottom of the right tank in the front above the valve. And ends like this.

I will clean this mess up and relocate the valve in the propane tank compartment.
I opened the valve and nothing but clean dry air escaped, no mist or moisture came out, I let it run for 30 seconds.
I could not find the Ping tank, directly behind the right wheels is a mud flap and right behind that is the electronics compartment.
I did find what I believe to be the dryer. Passenger side about three feet back from the rear wheels

I believe it says Bendix on the side facing the frame rail.
Thoughts?
I did not find any lanyards or manual valves (other than the one that I believe someone added) to drain the tanks.
I have replaced the generator (removed and installed another one) and can state categorically there are no lanyards on either side of the generator.
