We have a Springdale 311RE . I haven't seen a winterization valve anywhere . Is it hidden or do they not come with one. We purchased used two weeks ago so we are still learning its features.

Odd's are it does not. If your Springfield is like most a flat panel below the frig is where the water pump should be found. Open and see what's within.

Our Springdale (2011) did have a winterization valve on the rear of the water heater and two (hot/cold) low point drains as well as a fresh water tank drain. Otherwise, there were no winterization valves. Actually, none are necessary. Just turn the valve to bypass the water heater, remove the anode/plastic plug (depending on Suburban or Atwood) open the low point drains, blow out the plumbing lines (optional) install RV antifreeze (don't use automotive antifreeze) drain the FWT and you're essentially set for winter.
