FYI: If you were to add a valve to your low point drains, it is easy to drain your hot water tank by opening the COLD low point drain and lifting the pressure relief lever on the hot water tank. Not intuitive, but it works because the cold water enters at the bottom of the tank. Draining of hot water tanks was discussed previously with many view points: http://www.keystonerv.org/forums/sho...ing+water+tank
Whether to drain your hot water tank after every trip or not probably depends on how hard your water is and if it is a Suburban steel with anode tank or an aluminum Atwood tank. Our water is hard and leaves deposits if left full too long in our Atwood tank, so I drain after every trip which is every second weekend.
