The topic of how to winterize an RV has been brought up each winter on this forum and there is a great deal of information on the process that can be found on forum. You can access this information by using the forum's search feature. There is also a wealth of information on the net --- just Google "Winterizing an RV" and you will find more than enough sites to help you through the process.

Most FW tank drains are found directly below the tank. There may be a spigot or some other drain valve. There are also 2 low-point water drains - one for hot water and the other for cold. These are found beneath the RV and will almost always protrude from the underbelly. They may be capped with a twist/lock fitting ---- just turn the cap until water from the lines starts to flow. Opening the faucets will help move the water along. Once all the water has been drained, retighten the cap so that when you pump RV antifreeze into the lines, it won't flow back out of the low-point drains.

There are two methods of winterizing -- one is to blow out the lines and not use RV antifreeze; the other involves pumping the pink stuff throughtout the lines.
Choose whatever method you want and then proceed.

The steps have already been discussed and posted here on the forum and online so there is no need to repeat them again.
