2529RG Where does my fresh water tank dump?

I have yet to use the fresh water tank on my 2022 2529RG. I plan on sanitizing it. On the camp side there is a dump handle which the sales guy told me is for the fresh water. Ok but where does it come out? I Googled and it seems like its normal for the fresh water tank to just drain from the bottom of the tank onto the ground. But my trailer has an enclosed undercarriage. Is it plumbed into the grey/black water drain?

Another Fabulous engineer accomplishment!!
OK, on the curb side...stand between the steps to the kitchen and the rear tire. Now get down and scoot under your 2529RG about 3 feet. You should see a white plastic valve hanging down from the underbelly.
YEA! You found it.
Here is what we did so you don't have to crawl under your Minnie every time you need to drain your fresh water tank. Everything was purchased at our local Lowe's store for under $7 except the 1/2 inch hose which I had onhand.

Thanks for the picture. I can indeed see what looks like a drain plug. It doesn't look like a valve to me but I didn't crawl all the way underneath yet.

Then what's the dump valve thats on the same side three feet from the front of the trailer?

A photo of what you ar e referring to would be helpful, However, most likely you are looking at the quick connect for a propane grill. You’ll need to remove the regulator to your grill to use it I believe. I don’t use this feature, maybe someone who does will jump in.

That white handle (to the right of bedroom door) is for the fresh water drain and yes it dumps from underneath onto the ground.
The valve is in the enclosed part so it is protected.

Just pull the lever and it pours out from under the fresh water tank
Nothing to connect

I'll try to remember to take a picture today. But there is a dump handle (just like the three dump handles on the other side) that is right next to the propane quick connect.

Thats what I'm afraid of. So then the next thing is I have to figure out where I can dump 60 gallons of water with bleach on the ground.

The bleach in the water - if done correctly - is only 50 parts per million and is safe to dump just about anywhere. (I was going to say “anywhere” but I’m sure there must be some place that’s not okay for that.)

Yeah, I made an extension with an elbow that I can attach to the dump outlet out of 1 1/2" black sewer pipe and simple dump it on my gravel. But, I only fill it with about 25 gallons of water/beach solution and slosh it around by hooking my truck up to it. I also have another 1 1/2" PVC adapter to garden hose I can attach to my extension if I want to run it on my grass.

Up here, you are not supposed to run any water down the street to the storm drains. Even people drawing their pools down for winter have to drain it on their lawns ($10k fine). LOL - most of their lawn is gone because of the pool and concrete decking.

On our 2022 2529rg the fresh water dump itself is an about one inch pipe located just behind the front steps.It is pretty flush with the insulation padding. There is a WHITE valve handle that is pulled to open the dump. Sure is nicer than the old valves. Just like dumping the grey or black tanks but straight diwn.

Here are a couple of pictures of what I did on my fresh water dump. If I don't want it to dump straight down, I attach the extension with the elbow (1 1/2" diameter pipe). That keeps it from washing away any gravel or dirt that is directly below the dump valve.

If I want to drain it on my lawn or somewhere else, I attach a hose to the adapter in the pictures, but that slows the draining down.
