Sounds like they installed an 'auto drain' on your wet tank.

As to why Spartan did not supply the 3rd cable ?????

I plan to add the 3rd cable this month myself.
Well I drained the 2 that have lanyards and there was no water. I am going to assume that the tank without a lanyard (if it exists) is dry as well. This rig is new to me and I think I am obsessing over small things too much such as perfect tire pressures that I can't enjoy the coach. Taking off next week for a 2 week trip through the Dakotas bird hunting. Hopefully being new I should be able to do a 4-5,000 mile round trip without too much going wrong.

You are right. When the air/desiccant filter is changed regularly(2 or 3 yrs for MH) there should not be any moisture in the compressed air system.
