- SteamguyExplorerI have an old "Child-size" garden rake tool that has three tines on it and a short handle. (Maybe it was a toy?) Even so, it works perfect to grab the knife handle and pull. I think they even still sell them at some hardware stores.

Thanks Redterpos. My new Arctic Fox 25R came with an electric awning, so not tool. But I am thinking of fabricating a similar tool. ;)3oaks wrote:
It has an 1- 1/2" knife valve. Have to be ready for bath when the water hits the ground. Can't get out of the way fast enough. I can see a modification in my near future.

I've got one too, you could try using your awning tool to pull the handle, i'm getting a lot of use out of that awning tool!! - westendExplorerWhy did the fuse open the first time? How are you checking the fuses? Is there power at the pump switch?

but you might look underneath the middle of the camper, on the bottom of your freshwater tank. That's where we discovered ours was! (Terrible place for it.)
You got that right! Our potable water tank drain is in the same location. It has an 1- 1/2" knife valve. Have to be ready for bath when the water hits the ground. Can't get out of the way fast enough. I can see a modification in my near future.
On our previous trailer, I complained about the dinky 1/2" drain valve taking so long to drain the fresh water tank. I guess the old adage applies, "be careful what you wish for" :B - MarkannaExplorerFound it! Right where you said! Maybe you could answer my other question...The pump and furnace were not working. Left the pump off but the furnace on due to a cold spell when we got in late last Sunday. The fuse blew and we had a little freeze. Replaced the fuse and furnace and water pump went on fine. Water was flowing with the pump no problem. Drained the system and it stayed above freezing. Picked up the camper last night, filled the water and pump won't go on and neither will the light. Furnace running fine. Checked the fuses and all ok. Any other trouble shooting ideas for the pump?
- RoyBExplorer IIIThe trailers that have the underbelly material under the whole trailer should be easy to spot any drain valves.. They are about the only thing that is sticking down under the trailer...
- MarkannaExplorerThank you so much for the quick answer! Heading down the road now, but stopping to fish in a bit and hopefully you nailed our question!
- ejmorganExplorerWe used to own a 2005 Nash 22H travel trailer. On ours, the fresh water drain was under the trailer, on the driver's side, below the sofa/kitchen sink area -- about 2 feet from the trailer side. It was just a white, screw-on cap on a 6" long, 1/2" pex tube pointed straight down towards the ground. Just remove the cap and let the water drain out.
It was an excellent trailer that we had for 10 years.
Ed - kknowltonExplorer III'm not familiar with your camper, but you might look underneath the middle of the camper, on the bottom of your freshwater tank. That's where we discovered ours was! (Terrible place for it.) We had a mod made for it by a local RV service center, so we can reach it without crawling all the way underneath. Good luck!
