drain valves
Hi group
new owner of used 2009 3023
can you tell me what each of the four drain valves is for under the left side of the TM?
also when I hook up to water hose does that bypass the 40 gallon fresh water tank?

drain hoses
The clear drain hose near the water tank drains the water tank ( mostly but not completely) Check out the modification I did at the end of the thread "Fresh Water Tank" a little further down the Plumbing page. Makes complete draining and cleaning simple.
The white drain line under the water heater drains the water heater.
The two drains back near the bathroom, drain the rear plumbing hot and cold water lines. It is best to open all the faucets inside and in the outside shower to allow complete draining ( no air locks). Don't forget to remove the outside shower head and drain the shower and sink sprayer hoses if winterizing.
When you hook up to shore water there is a back flow valve that prevents water from going into the water tank. Don't forget to use a water pressure regulator ( $10-$15) on the shore water line so you don't damage the plumbing.
Also remember that you need to open at least one hot water faucet and allow water to run until it comes out the faucet to fill the hot water tank if you plan on using it in either gas or electric mode.

The four drain valves are:
Fresh water tank
Kitchen sink
bathroom
Hot water tank
To drain you need to open the faucets and then open the valves. I open mine every time I leave and let them drain. I don't travel with water in the tank unless I'm going somewhere local or I know I'm going somewhere that doesn't have fresh water.
Don't forget to close the valves and trun the faucets off when when filling the fresh water tank or hooking up to a water supply.
Enjoy your new TM

When hooked up to a water supply the fresh water tank is bypassed.

Hey Cocodrie
I have no clue what the drain lines are. That's what husbands are for. I just wanted to say Hi to a fellow Louisianan. We're in Algiers and just bought a 3124 KB 2 months ago. We love it! Enjoy.

I posted a diagram here that may be helpful. It is old, but I think still accurate.
