If you have figured out how the cap on the low-point drains works, reach under and turn it until water starts to flow. If there is water in the lines, you should see water coming out of the end. Twist and tighten the cap after you detect water flowing out.

Doing this might result in air in the lines so you might need to purge the lines from air by leaving your taps open and running water.

Perhaps when you initially opened the low point drain valve, there was little or no water in the lines which resulted in only a small amount coming out. ???

You should have a separate drain for your fresh water tank. The two lines that are hanging down in your photo are the HW and CW low-point drains - not the FW tank.

Fresh water drain

I installed a pex (1/2") ball valveX (1/4" opening) I got at Amazon(or several local hardware stores). I open this drain as my last prehook up tasks and let it drain. It is slow but very easy instead of unscrewing that fitting cap and reinstalling while going under there.
Also, I always fill fresh water tank about 1/2 ways immediately as I and friend had no water at site shortly after arriving at a site. I leave the pump off and use water directly from site and on when no water or low water pressure some times.

This is what I have figured out. I guess I was ignoring the tube at the other end (the forward end) under the Fresh water fill area....which is actually the FW drain. I was looking at the HW & CW Low point drains, which is why only a small amount of water came out.

Thanks for your responses!

I think the ball valve is a GREAT idea and will look into it.


Thanks!
