There is a drain valve on the P/S in front of the rear tires about 18 inches, turn the black knob.

Ours doesn't have a drain valve, so unless you see one where Chuck pointed out it may be, I suspect you are out of luck.

On our coach you can drain the fresh tank using the valve mentioned above by Brobox, and also thru one of the three-way valves in the wet bay - I use both as they're really small and even with two it takes awhile.

To clarify my earlier post....in the wet bay there are three valves which can be used to "mostly" drain the fresh water tank. The problem with those valves is that they leave a lot of water in the tank. At some point, Entegra added a low point drain valve to the fresh water tank which does a much better job at emptying. That is the valve you may or may not have. If you do not have that valve some folks have opened the valves in the wet bay and used the passenger side jacks to lean the coach toward the driver's side to help with draining.

Do you have Aspire, Anthem, or Cornerstone? What model year?
Not all coaches in the EC line are plumbed the same....
I have a gravity drain, but it still leaves about 20-25% water in the tank. I can get a little more out if I tilt the coach with my jacks...but not all of it!

Same on our 2014 Anthem 42 DLQ, two valves, one in the wet bay, and the low point drain on the P/S.

The low point passenger side fresh water drain was added mid year 2014. I asked at the factory if it could be added. A Firm no
