Hello! Newbie RV’er here. I just purchased a 2014 Spree Escape for our family to enjoy!
My question is this- we have had a terrible time finding the fresh water tank drain. During the walkthrough, they couldn’t find it and sent us to to the service dept. While there, they stated it is tied to the low point drain. When opened, not much water comes out of the low point drain and this just doesn’t seem accurate. I have tried looking in the manual but it wasn’t much help. Can anyone confirm the low point and fresh water drains are tied in together? If not, any advice on where I might be able to find this drain? Thanks!

If you're not opposed to it, put some food coloring in your fresh water tank and see if what drains out of your low point drain turns the same color.
I used this to figure out the difference between my 2 gray tanks, but you may not be comfortable putting food coloring in your fresh water tank.

Low Point drain drains the fresh water system, pull the anode rod to drain the hot water tank. I use air the winterize after opening the low points. What would be drained if it was not fresh water?

Maybe just the water lines throughout the RV? My Venture has a separate drain for the water lines, and the fresh water tank has a very obvious drain out the bottom of the tank, so I have to open both (plus the hot water low point drain). |

The manual says there should be a drain for the fresh water tank and the low point drain. The low point drain I think is only draining the low point on the water line system if my understanding is correct (maybe I am misunderstanding?). It’s draining so slow despite a full fresh water tank, I can’t imagine this being an efficient way to drain that tank when say winterizing or sanitizing the tank. |

Yeah I have 3 drains... fresh water, low point cold, low point hot. Obviously opening the faucets when opening the low point drains is necessary, but even my fresh water drain is pretty slow (and it is vented). |

Is it draining a large quantity albeit slow? Perhaps there is debris blocking the drain line, so can you blow into the drain to dislodge debris?

Thanks all! I found it- the valve was inside next to the water tank and the drainage hose was hidden behind the gray water line Attachments:
