Passport water tank drain

esmoglo · 11-12-2015, 04:44 AM

Went to add fresh water yesterday to the tank and as I was adding water it was pouring out the bottom. Inspected the blue line that comes out of the bottom and see the blue line has a threaded end. Now the question. Is there a shut off valve for the fresh water tank? Or do I need to go out and purchase a cap to cover the line?

A cap is all you need.

That is your low drain point. Some have a valve like the one in the first link below, others have a cap like the second link. Looks like you have the second link version.

I'm guessing, based on your previous posts that this problem is related to your new Passport. Often times, if a trailer is delivered by the dealer in the "winter months" (even in south Florida), they will winterize the coach. Normally, the factory/dealer network will remove the fresh water drain cap (the one you're missing) and store it inside the water heater door. Before you go looking to buy a replacement cap, check the water heater to see if it's laying under the burner. Chances are it's not "lost" rather it's "in a safe place" put there by the dealer....

You are hundred percent correct this is in reference to my brand-new passport . I'm completely utterly and thoroughly annoyed the dealer they didn't look anything over and unfortunately there in Michigan and I'm in Florida so I can't just swing by and have them fix it. Purchased my unit from Lakeshore RV center and I'll be honest with you I'm the kind a guy likes the upgrade I'm sure in a few years I'll be ready I don't think I'll be back to buy from them again.

So far the cabinet came off during transport
Massive gaps in the kitchen countertops
Gap in the bottom of my door
Missing awning tool I still don't have it's been 18 days now I'm still waiting
Bath Room faucet is malfunctioning
Under the kitchen I had a leak under that faucet and the drain area
They did a crappy job installing on the wiring for the power tongue jack I had to go back and crimp on the connector they just bent wires over and shoved it on the battery.
And of course yesterday as of my post the missing water drain cap.

I really wasn't sure if there was some sort of valve that turned it on or off but I guess I'll run out to Home Depot see if I can't get a half-inch PVC cap.

This is my first rv buying experience and I learned a lot when I'm ready for a larger unit and I'm sure I will be I'm certainly going to take the time to fly out and go see it in person, or buy locally if the Florida dealers will back off full MSRP.

Sidenote I looked under the water heater door it's not there.

Sorry for your troubles but that is one reason I like to buy local as many local places will not work on units bought elsewhere. It does seem strange that you were adding water to your fresh tank and water was coming out the low point drain unless your pump was on the water should not get there. Does the water tank drain have a cap on it?

As for your kitchen countertops do you have a pic of them? Sounds to me like they didn't glue them and didn't use any clamps underneath.
Which door are you talking about?
What exactly is wrong with the bathroom faucet, like how is it malfunctioning?

Main entry door strut is pushing the bottom of the door out seems as if it’s too powerful or needs to be adjusted another member here purchased the same 2016 2810BH has the same exact issue.
Counter tops have quite a few gaps used silicone to fill in the gaps looks better now.
Faucet handle is not working when I turn it ordered a new one for $29.99
Keep in mind I am quite handy only one I am not sure of is the main entry door.

Dealers will often take the drain caps off when they transport the TT. Sounds like the delivery guy missed putting that one back on.

Didn't see it mentioned.... but... Somewhere near the BLUE (cold water low point) Hose, there may be a RED (hot water low point) one. They both need capping, in season.

Gotcha they are located near the dump valves but I don't need to worry about that because I am in Florida don't need to winterize my unit.
