Where is the fresh water tank drain valve?
New member ... and after owning many RVs over the last 40 years I'm stumped!
My wife & I just bought a 2022 Winnebago Minnie 2327TB, and for the life of me I can't find the damn fresh water tank drain valve! I'm assuming they're still used (my last one, a Flagstaff, had one).
I got down on the ground, which i don't normally do, being a 75 yr old fat fart, and rolled around under the entire trailer in vain, while my wife was humming 'whale on the beach'.
Any suggestions?

My 2017 2455bhs has the fresh water fill up to the left of the entry door… my drain for the fresh water tank is directly below that under the camper
Now my drain out lines that I clean out in the winter are located under my bathroom sink. You take the front panel off and down to the left you can open the valves.
Not sure if this will help at all but this is one spot that Winnebago put them
Good luck in your search. I crawled around for a good while until I found both of mine.

Hi Mac,
Your wife's description of you looking for the valve is too funny! It made me laugh, and I needed that.
Welcome to the forum.

It's a sad fact that we get almost no help or drawings on the trailers and the info that comes with them seems even less.
Any chance you are close enough to a dealer that you could drop by and have them show you on the same model? At least it would be needed to know how many to look for and each model may be different!!

Thanks for your responses!
Thanks, all of you for your help. The fresh water drain was the one item the guy doing the walk thru forgot to include, and I drove home with it full after the walk thru. The tags for Septic & Waste were on the slide-out side, but I couldn't find any tag for it on either side of the trailer.
Before heading back to the dealership I decided to look one more time this morning; got out my creeper and looked again ... AHA! Found a white lever on the opposite side of the FW fill with no tag, it is under the slide-out area. Pulled it and out flowed 40+ gallons of water.
So anyone purchasing the 'new in 2022' (so they told me) Minnie 2327TB, that's where the Fresh Water tank drain valve is.
Thanks again for all your responses.
~ Mac

Question: did the whale get beached again opening the low point drains?
I have to lay on the bathroom floor to open mine and hope my dw doesn’t see me and call the paramedics.

I would ask your dealer as that basic info should have been covered during the "walk-through". Then I would never darken the door of that dealership again.
