Fresh Water Tank Location

In April we bought a 2023 Wildwood Heritage Glen 22RKHL travel trailer.
We have not been able to locate where the fresh water tank is or where the drain hose is to drain the remaining water out of it. It is a rear kitchen unit and we have looked everywhere under the trailer but cannot locate the tank or the Low Point Drain hoses. We did find 2 hoses but they were connected to the bottom of the trailer and were capped off.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you.

    the two low point hoses drain the water in the plumbing. the fresh water tank won't be too far from you fresh water fill. the drain for the fresh water tank could be anywhere.
    my tank is between the axles and the drain is in the front under the tongue which is about 12 feet from the tank.

    Thank you. I will look again. It makes sense that it would be near the fresh water tank. Nothing is easy!

    Thank you for your reply. No, we don't have a park model. The only things that we have a T handle on are the drains to empty the black and gray water. We are looking for a way to drain the remaining water out of the fresh water tank so it does not stay in the tank for too long once we get home, especially if we are not going back out again for awhile.


    find your fill cap, then look under the rv at around that point and there should be a hose with a cap or valve on it hanging down (might look like a 3rd low point drain) that should be your way of emptying the freshwater tank.

    First, the water coming out of the low point drains is from the system that feeds your faucets, shower and toilet. Those caps are holding pressure when you have street water or the pump is on.
    Wherever your fresh fill is the tank will be below that. Sometimes the tank drain is behind a frame rail or otherwise hidden. A creeper and a good look at the bottom and you may discover all the answers you need.

    On most trailers the fresh water tank is near the axles to help with a full tanks load. Most of the drains have a larger valve with a T handle. Unless you have a "park model".

    Thank you, but then where is the water coming from that does come out of those hoses? We have had 2 other travel trailers and a Class A but they were all older and we have never encountered any of these things and the dealership hasn't been very helpful.

    Those two hoses that are capped off, those are your low point drains. Unscrew the caps and the water pours out. However, Those won’t drain the fresh water tank.
