Scrubjaysnest,
You are correct on the first picture, it the drain for the fridge.

That's interesting. I didn't know fridge had a drain. I should have taken a picture of larger area in the first pic as that hose behind the screen is right next to a fan, which I assume is for the fridge.
So... that leaves me with the question of where is the drain for the fresh water tank? Or, is that the single drain valve in my second pic? And, maybe I don't have two drain valves on the front section?

Yepper, here's what mine looks like. I trimmed a couple of inches off the end, so that it drains well.

On our TM the water heater drain valve is located in front of the street side wheel - almost directly below the water heater. Just in from there is the 20 gallon fresh water tank drain. That drain may also be used to drain the cold water side of the street water connection lines. Toward the bumper, street side is another set of drains, one for hot water and the other for cold water street connection water lines..

I apologize for my previous short responses, I was in too much of a hurry.
I assume you've located your water tank, look for the lowest line on that tank. On my tank it is located just above the floor and it runs right thru the floor. in the attached picture you can see the line that has the 90 degree elbow pointed into the floor. That should be your drain line.

Thx for the responses. I just crawled around under my TM and I swear there is only one drain valve under the front section. Looks like further investigation will have to wait until this weekend when I can open it up and take a look at fresh water tank. I know the tank is under the sink cabinet.

Drain valves
Thanks TrailManorMan,
I'm hoping you are right, that the fresh water/hot water heater drain would just back fill the tank after filling the hot water heater. Maybe someone can enlighten others of us with this TM oddity!

I'm confused "the one line in the fridge vent"?? I read in this tread where someone with a newer camper has a fridge drain tube. That may be it. I know with my 03, I don't have a fridge drain hose. We have a dip pan that we have to take out and empty.
If that is the fridge drain hose. Maybe the 95 did not have 2 drains in the front. If that's the case, I would assume you have a fresh water holding tank drain and that valve you have up front is the fresh water tank drain. That would mean, TM added in a latter year the cold water drain near the water heater, which drains the water heater.
If these assumptions are correct. To winterize the camper, you may need to pull the anode rod to drain the water heater or add an anode rod with a drain valve if there is not already there.

Well, didn't have to wait till the weekend to find out about my drain valves. Just got off the phone with Ed Lytle (nice guy) and he explained that some TMs like mine that have the slide out front only have one drain valve in the front section and that is for BOTH the fresh water tank and the water heater.
So, I would not be able to make a mod like some folks have where they use their fresh water tank drain valve to fill it up while the TM is closed. I'd have to do some re-plumbing.
