I can assure you that if you have a Monaco brand, Hr.etc. coach you should drain the air tanks at least monthly. The drains on most are on the front of the coach by the generator and on the hitch on the back of the coach. Granted some are luckly and get no water out of the front drain but there are some like me that get it pretty regularly. I have changed the dessicant filter three times in four years on my 06 Endeavor. If you do more traveling in the South area there is more humidity and thus more water in the tank. If you get water out of the front valve, then you need to change the dessicant filter. If you don't, your brakes could rust and freeze up. For those of you with SOB of coach other than mentioned above, I know nothing about them. Also note that the cayman or neptune does not have the drains where I noted but instead you have to craw up under the coach to drain them.
