Water Drain Valve in '98 Sea Breeze by National RV...?

We are renovating a '98 Sea Breeze that came with absolutely no documentation. I've managed to gather a good many pieces of information but no manual for this model. I HAVE found a manual for a different National RV of the same year which I was hoping might tell me how to drain the fresh water tank (which currently has 50 gallons of water in it we don't need.)

Any other '98 Sea Breeze owners that can perhaps post a pic of where the main drain valve is...? I know the low point is the outdoor shower and have opened the facuets and place the shower head on the ground - but this hasn't released any water.

I also tried the red valve under the bed - however, I'm fairly certain that only releases the water in the fresh water tank to the hot water heater.

Any help at all is appreciated.

A careful tracing of water lines should show a waterline that has a low point drain going through the floor of a compartment. Crawling underneath might reveal a 'duckbill' rubber cover over the drain. If all else fails, you could disconnect the water line from the tank to the pump and drain it from that point. Perhaps stick the waterline into a hose to guide the water out of the wet bay.

Water Drain Valve in '98 Sea Breeze by National RV...?

It may have nothing to do with anything, but in my 2002 Dutch Star the fresh tank drain valve is NOT the low point drain (even though it’s labeled that way), and it’s located behind the water bay, through that cutout hole at the lower left of the picture.

May mean nothing, may be helpful. If you have any cutouts in the wall backing your water bay, check ‘em out.

Thanks for these responses - but nothing is working. We're thinking the valve might be under the bed - where the fresh water tank itself is - but it's either stripped (not opening/closing) or the drain itself is clogged with debris or even a wasp's nest. Took it to an RV garage for other maintenance, so we've asked them to check it out. Will report back.
