2017 Allegro RED Supply Air tank bleed valve

[novakj]

Hi, I recently purchased a 2017 Allegro RED 33A and thus far am quite happy with it, although I've yet to take it on it's maiden voyage. I also recently completed the required (Canada) air brake course so am all schooled up on that. To that end I've been looking for the bleed valves on the supply and primary air tanks and they certainly aren't readily accessible from one of the compartment doors. Unless someone on this forum has experience with the Allegro RED 33A and can point me in the right direction I guess I'll scoot around underneath on a dolly to see if I can find them. Doesn't make sense though seeing as they are quite important. In my course I was taught to routinely open the vents to let any condensed moisture out, so I would assume they were an accessible valve(s).

Looking for and appreciate any help!

They are very accessible. Look in the wheel wells of your front wheels - it will help to turn your wheels all the way to the right and left. In the right wheel well you will find two plastic coated cables; in the left, one. Pulling those cables will activate the drain valves for your air tanks. Pull and keep puling until you see no more moisture.

So after scooting around underneath on a dolly I finally found the valves. they were connected to cable lanyards that terminated behind the front wheels in the wheel well. Not the easiest to access that's for sure.

Use an awning hook or make you a 3' long hook out of 1/8" steel or aluminum rod to pull the lanyards. I bled my tanks regularly on my RED and now on my Phaeton and I have yet to have any amount of water blow out.
