Air Reservoir Drains?

[tomato]

I read in me manual that you need to drain the water out of the air reservoirs regularly, unless the coach is equipped with automatic drains. I cannot locate anything that looks like a release or drain for this under our '21 Ventana 3412. Does anyone know if these are automatic, or am I missing them?

Thanks!

You should find them behind the front wheels, 2 on one side and one on the other. They are wire loops that you can pull using the awning rod or similar. You only need to check these once a year.


P.S. If there is any water then you need to get the air dryer dessicant replaced. Normally there is never any water.

Found 'em! Thank you. Glad I looked under there, as my main generator 12 volt starting lines were hanging way down. One was riding right on top of the blade portion of a self tapping screw. Took care of all that.

There is a sequence to pulling them. On my DSDP the are colored gray, green and red. They are pulled in that sequence. This allows you to test that the check valves on the tanks are operating properly too. Follow the instructions in your chassis info to get it right. But basically you are testing that the relates of air from one tank isn’t impacting the others.
