Fresh Water Tank Draining

I just bought a 2020 Coleman Lantern and have used it several times now and love it. I was wondering if anyone knows how to drain the Fresh Water Tank. I was hoping to find a valve I could open under the trailer to let all the water out, but I don't seem to see one. Anyone got some advise?

Thanks, John

    Our drain is directly under the FW Tank. It's a little quarter turn plastic valve. You might have to crawl under the rig to find it.

    Mine is under my bunkbeds and hard to reach. So, I open all my faucets & let it fill my grey tank. Then, I just drain my grey tank.

    Hopefully, Susan, the low point of the fresh water tank is the drain and I believe it’s better to use that than the faucets.

    It's new. I would call and ask the dealer. Or..contact Dutchmen direct.

    mine is next to the tank, under the rear queen, accessible by a removable panel on the queen base.

    Might not be a valve. Might be a short length of vinyl tubing with a plug on the end, like mine.

    Thanks, I found it. I was looking on the wrong side and didn't realize it was so small.

    My valve is conveniently located under the TT above the rear axle next to the low point drain pipes. You can just barely reach it if you squeeze under the steps.:)
