Fresh Water Tank Drainage ?

I am guessing you don't want to cut a bigger hole in the bottom to make it drain faster - so unless it's gulping air, no.

If you have an outside shower area connect a garden hose and turn the pump on 2-3 gallon a minute drain.

I found that if I open a faucet, it flows quicker.
Depending on the situation, I open the fresh water tank, all faucets, and the hot water heater when I'm heading home--yeah, I'm a law breaker. However, when we get to the homestead, most of the water has been shaken out and winterizing is simple.

30+ gallons takes a long time to exit small drain tube - I open the valve and grab a beverage - not much different than most

I like your style! I have 100 gallons to drain out. Usually a 3 beverage job. But after 3, I care a lot less ;);)

We used to have the same problem with previous campers we've had. On our current Arctic Fox there is a 2" drain for the fresh water tank. It has a similar valve to gray and black tank drain valves.

Yep, our A.F. has an 1-1/2" drain valve on our fresh water tank. I have to get out of the way fast when I pull it open. :B

Huge difference from the ridiculous little 3/8" petcock valve to drain the fresh water tank on our previous TT.

Depending upon the state. In some states it is illegal to dump anything on public roadways, INCLUDING FRESH WATER.
