Be careful with that plastic tube. On my old trailer I made an outside shower by connecting to the low drain points.
First time I tested it the pressure in the water lines was such that it caused the plastic tubing to inflate like a balloon at a weak spot and explode !
I replace with the more expensive tubing that is reinforced with nylon or something and worked like a charm.
I have no idea what the pressure is in the tank but I would highly recommend either:
1) Putting the shutoff directly at the drain point so that no water under preassure enters the tubing unless draining. There may be one there already and it's just obscured in the photo.
2) Upgrade to a stronger tubing.... if that tubing gives that could hurt someone.
