Anyone want to play "Name that Valve"?

Emy

So, I moved my little tank into the garage for the winter, (thanks to the wisdom of LARK and Sgt. John), and it revealed a valve that I could not identify. On the starboard side, just ahead of the wheel.  Anyone?

Isn't it the drain valve for your fresh water tank?

Nomad

Yep, that's what it be. Of course mine doesn't look like that, I've lost two valve handles in route. Finally gave up replacing them and use a plyers if I need to drain.

Emy

Okay, thanks, guys. Thought all the drain valves were on the on the driver side, near the Alde.  I haven't crawled under the rig, yet.  Newb.

Emy, for the Alde drain valves, I don't need to crawl underneath our Tab. The water pipe drain valves are under the bench seat, next to the Alde.

There are a few threads in the forum about it, some with pictures, that might help...

LARK

Looking good Emy! Glad it worked out for you. Now just drain the water using that valve and your set for the winter.

Emy - The fresh water drain valve used to be on the driver's side but they changed it with the 2015 models when they added the larger tank.

Emy

Got it now. Thanks.

Before I brought the tab in the garage, I drained the water lines, the Alde yellow relief valve was open, hot and cold valves were open, had the water pump on, opened the sink, shower faucets, flushed toilet, allowing water to drain into grey (gray) tank. Drained black, then grey tanks. I did not see the fresh water drain valve until I fiddled with my "get her in the garage" quest.  

I am also guilty of adding pink to the fresh water tank.  Tsk. Tsk. Live and learn.

In 'Breakway's Manual' I found schematics for their 2014 that were helpful.

Emmy, it isn't that big of a deal to add pink to the FW tank. I did it last year. I did my first camp out with full hook UPS in the spring, making it easy to run enough water to rinse it our, while opening the drains and grey tank

Emy,

I will be purposely putting the pink stuff in the fresh water tank next year and then using the water pump to circulate the anitfreeze. Like jkjenn said, it doesn't seem like a big deal to get the pink stuff out on the spring as long as you have a good supply of fresh water to flush it out. After all I went through trying to winterize for the first time this year, I have decided to put the antifreeze in the fresh water tank and pump it through.
