Dumping the Dynasty fresh water tank

Having just purchased a 2002 Monaco Dynasty Baroness. Want to dump & sanitize the fresh water tank. Since the panel indicated the tank was empty, set up to fill. Assume the panel reading was in error since the tank immediately overflowed.

I now assume the tank is full, however, cannot ascertain (from the manual) how to dump the tank. Coach is set up for the Aqua Hot water system. and only see 3 valves in the area, none of which dumps the tank.

Any suggestions to the error of my ways?

You should have a couple of clear lines with valves on them located in the compartment on the driver's side where the external shower is located. One of those lines should have a 90 degree fitting that goes out the bottom of the compartment. Turn the valve and dump the water. You could also open the valves on the outside shower and turn the pump on...

On our 08 Dynasty there is a large plastic ball valve right next to the water tank. This is the same setup used on many MH's.

Our water dump valve is a large plastic ball valve on the curb side of the coach, in th aqua hot bay. You can also see the water tank, level sensors and determine the amount of full visually. Ours is '08 HR imperial, similar to Monaco Dynasty.

Unfortunately none of the above was available. Decided to activate the water pump, leaving all coach faucets open, running the water to the gray tank & dumping (since I was connected to the sewer). Only took 30 minutes.

Also decided to enter the storage tank area and am going to install a 11/2-2 inch ball valve that will dump at the tank, which is easily accessable.

Thanks.

Mine is in the drivers side compartment also, just like Ron described. I would be surprised if you don't have the same setup... maybe iin a slightly different location since your coach is a year older. I suggest you call Monaco tech support before installing a valve which may be unnecessary.

Gentlemen:

You are correct. I did locate the ball valve located in the drive-side service bay. It was hiding behind some material left by the previous owner. The coach is scheduled for detail tomorrow.

It did, however, take 45 minutes to dump the tank of treated water. Maybe a project for a later date. Right now i have my hands full cleaning things up.

Thanks for your posts.
