If its like my passport, the cap is the valve. When you unscrew it water comes out. I would try to put some kind of insulation over that hose and hope that the warmer water in the tank helps keep it from freezing. other option is to install a valve as close to the top of drain hose or put one inside the trailer. The later would be a pain as I assume your water tank is under the bed and pump and fittings are beneath the side nightstand. This involves removing the top cover to access.
Yes, mine has the cap also, no valve that I can see. As soon as I remove the cap, water drains out of it.
I was thinking about going to Home Depot and getting some of that water heater pipe foam insulation and putting it over the hose just as a precaution.
I'm not sure exactly where the tank is in relation to the bed, my TT has the front bedroom with rear living room, 24 1/2'. The fresh water fitting on the outside of the trailer is about where the bathroom sink is.
I may be being a bit over cautious, but I just don't want to have problems with my new trailer, especially ones that I could've possibly avoided.
