I have just purchased a 2004 Dolphin 36 ft. Of course previous owner left no manuals! Can't seem to find the fresh water drain valve. Anyone help? Thanks.

First place to look is in the utility bay. Beyond that, we need to get a National RV owner to help out.

Also, I'd go back to the original owner and ask for the manuals.

Thanks, TXiceman. Dealer didn't have manuals, but I'm still trying to locate some online. I'll keep looking in meantime.

Don't know if it will help cause I have a Tradewinds but my drain is behind a small removable panel in the forward passenger side compartment.It is held in place with velcro.

I have an 05 Dolphin and my tank drain is in the rear compartment on the drivers side and the low water drain point is the hand held shower in the utility compartment.

Mine is located at the lower right hand side of my utility compartment (sewer and water line connections) near the back. It is a white pvc valve with a red handle typically used in irrigation systems. There are clear plastic water tube connected to both sides of the valve (inlet and outlet). When you open the valve, by turning the red handle in line with the water tubes, the water will drain out under the motorhome.

Eureka!!! I found the fresh water drain. It was in the electrical bay, down in the corner. Thanks to all for the ideas. Alleyman
