Water tank drain valve

I replaced one on my Pleasure-way Plateau once. I'm pretty sure it was this one...

Universal Drain Valve

Camping World has them. A lot of RV dealers with a good retail supply store will most likely have them too.

We have recently became the proud owners of a 2010 PW Excel and are also experiencing the same problem with the valve on the fresh water tank. I see that in the replies there is note that camco has a replacement for the valve. Does anyone know the part number???? Thanks in advance, it is much appreciated.

The plug at the bottom center of the tank is also a drain plug to completely empty the tank. The small spigot on the side is further up and will not drain fully.

No, it's not the anode rod, that's in the hot water tank, Barb is talking about the fresh water tank. Barb, if you e-mail PW, they'll give you a part number or even a size for an alternate fitting.

Hope you had a good Thanksgiving,

The other plug is your anode rod to protect the tank from erosion. You should remove it every year or two for replacement. My anode uses a 1 1/16 (or 27mm) socket to remove. At the end of the season, pulling the anode is a good way to assure all water is out of the tank. I just buy a new rod every spring and leave the rod out during the winter to allow the tank to drain if there is condensation.

I had the exact same thing happen on a PW 2008 Excel this fall. My valve was threaded into the opening on the rear side of the tank and I was able to screw the remaining piece out. I also noticed the plug (?) in the center bottom of the tank but did not investigate it any further.

My local RV dealer is closed for the season. Camco has a replacement valve. I'm toying with the idea of extending the drain line so I don't have to crawl underneath to reach the valve. I did find a appropriate threaded fitting at the local Home Depot which will allow me to do so.
