Where is the fresh water drain on the 2000 Shast Sprite?

There are VIN de-coder websites that'll tell all about the Ford Chassis. I think you're right about cylinders. "Could" be a 5.4 V8 but much more likely the 6.8 V10.
You can get an aftermarket service manual from Chilton, Haynes, maybe others and should be able to find Owner's Manual on the Ford webpages.
For the "House" what you mostly need is manuals for the appliances and generator. BryantRV.com has lots of appliance manuals and if genset is ONAN you can gOOgle the model number and probably find Owner, Parts, and Service manuals.
About all you'll be missing is how electric hooks up (with switch to/from generator). That and the water system as in how to dump tanks, how to fill fresh water and ABOVE ALL how to Winterize so stuff doesn't freeze and crack.
Bob Livingston publishes a book that's really good.
LPG tank is marked with its capacity. If you measure your fuel tank and use 231 cubic inches to a gallon, you can come close. They had 30-or 35-gallon and 55-gallon. I think they differ only in length, so if you measure yours somebody here can measure theirs and tell you the capacity. Ours gets more like 7-8, so worst case 7 mpg gives 350 miles on 50 gallons with a 50-mile reserve. That means we start looking seriously for gas around 300 miles.
If yours is small and light, V10'll get 8-9 mpg around 60 mph.
"Camp" at home a couple nights and get a handle on what works how, plus what you need to bring along.
Above all, WELCOME, have fun. You'll be answering questions instead of asking them before long.
