Draining water in between trips - open all 4 valves?

JabGopher

Hi all,

Just curious as I continue to learn the rig ... do you open all 4 valves to drain the fresh water in between trips?

a) & b) the 2 hot and cold low point valves in the Nautilus P2.5

c) Fresh water drain valve just behind the passenger's side rear

d) Yellow Alde drain valve underneath the driver's side cushion?

Also, do you operate the pump at all to accelerate the draining? Is it safe to do so?

@JabGopher - correct.  Also, when you drain the Alde water tank, open up a faucet to prevent a vacuum and allow the Alde tank to drain completely.  There is no reason to use the pump for drainIng in between camping trips - you will use the pump with winterization later on.  The plumbing lines drain via gravity, so we raise the tongue to accelerate and completely drain the system.
