Low Point Drain/ External Water Fill?
I am trying to De-winterize the 2013 Canyon Star 3911 we bought from a dealer/consignment in Mo.
Assume it had not been used, as the pink bug juice (Navy guy) was still in some of the ones.
I would very much like to drain the water tank, but cannot locate the low point drains.
Also, adding a water/bleach mixture would be nice, but so far I can only find that fresh water is added from the street fill port, using the crossover valve.
Thanks for any help.

Many RVs don't have a gravity fill port for the tank, instead you have a valve and the city water connection gets diverted into the tank. Look for a section of hose that is connected to a valve in the waterpump inlet. This hose is often used to suck RV antifreeze into the system for winterizing.
The other way to introduce bleach into the water tank is to fill the hose with the bleach then connect to the hydrant and push it into the tank.

OK< I did not now that.
Seems the inlet line valve will be the best bet.
Thanks for your help!

That suction hose will fill the plumbing system with whatever you suck up, but it won't put bleach into the water tank. For that, I think you'll have to fill the hose with bleach.

John, do you have a filter canister installed on the water inlet line? If so, you can remove the filter cartridge, put the appropriate quantity of bleach into the canister, reinstall, and turn on the water with the valve set to fill the fresh tank.
