Hey everyone,
I'm winterizing my new 2018 Keystone Springdale 3030BH for the first time. I'm going to blow out the lines with my air compressor, but I wanted to drain all of the lines the best I could through the low point drains first. I have two questions/problems:
1) I've attached a picture of the low point drain I found for the fresh water tank. I'm almost positive this is for the fresh water tank because it's directly below that tank. I'm sure this is a plumbing 101 question, but how do I go about tapping this drain? There's no valve to turn to open it, do I need to screw on/attach some sort of adapter or release valve?
2) My bigger question is: where the heck are the other low point drains for the cold and hot water? This is a big trailer, but I've scoured every inch of the underbelly and I can't find any low point drain other than the one for the freshwater tank I mentioned above. I've looked all over, but given particular attention to the areas around the front axle, stairs, side opposite of the slideouts, etc. - based on what I've read for common locations online. No lines, no caps, nothing. There are a few well secured hatches (SEE attached picture) that I haven't taken off, could they behind that? Or is it possible that such a new camper has no low point drains for the cold and hot water lines, or does Keystone just do something weird with the location of those drains?
Bonus question 3: is it even really necessary to drain the lines through low point drains if I'm going to blow the lines out with my compressor using the various taps, and then pump antifreeze through the lines? Maybe that's just overkill
Thanks as always guys and gals
