Fresh water drain in F28 Glacier Peak
I have looked all over underneath but can't find a handle. I can see the outlet but no idea where they hid it.

We have the F27MKS and the white handle is behind the rear axle on the drivers side pointing back at about a 40 degree angle. The dump is about a 1 1/2” pvc coming straight down above the rear axle on the same side. It dumps super fast. Maybe yours is similar.

Our 2016 GP fresh water dump handle is on the driver side, in front of the front axle way up under the skirting. What a pain.
I cut a 4 inch hole in the skirting and installed a twist off hatch plug to reach in there much easier.

Hmm, I guess I will have to crawl around underneath. Maybe I will email Todd. Got a couple things to talk to him about anyway.

I have a 2017 F26RLS, and like Egwilly's, the handle is on the driver side, up under the skirting. It's a white "T" handle, just in front of the front spring hanger.

I don’t have a 5r but I do have rear kitchen. As stated above, drivers side behind axle, behind slide, right below out side shower box. Ya gotta crouch, hard on knees.

We have the same model. The fresh water dump handle is hidden from view, just behind the black/grey tank dump light. There's even a sticker identifying it. It does dump fast. You'll leave a good hole in the ground if you open it all the way. My concern is that the only place for air to race in behind the departing water is that tiny, dime sized vent hole. I take of the fill cap too, to help try not to implode the tank.

Woohoo! That was it alright. They forgot to install the sticker on mine. I would have never found it. The galley dump handle is not very friendly either. Going to buy some kayak covers eventually. Thanks for the heads up.

Glad you found the fresh water dump handle.
As for the galley grey water dump. The first thing I did was install a kayak door like you mentioned. The next thing I did was follow Tuquala's idea of connecting the galley grey dump to the forward combo unit.
This plumbing job was not very hard. With the dropped frame on the 5th wheel you can easily get the desired 2% slope to make this flow very well and still get all the clearances you need from the ground and the axles.
If you need additional info you can PM me.
