I have to pull out my bottom drawer under my kitchen sink to get to them and even then, you almost don't see them. Get a bright flashlight and start hunting! Not sure what the red thing is. First time I've seen something like it.


Same here. On our Nash, you have to pull/push the pump out of the way and then lift one of the hoses to reach the valves. Very poorly designed.

All 3 of my TT's have had them at the very rear of the TT. It has always been two hoses with screw in plugs. If it is a single hose it may be the intake for onboard winterization. I have a single hose near the water pump and nezt t the water pump there is a valve that blocks off the freshwater tank and makes the pump draw from the single line when uncapped.

Do all trailers have them? I didn't see them poking through the sealed bottom but didn't check all the cupboards either.
With our old Nomad they were pretty obvious.

I have had them with valves that were just a push pull type that had metal finger rings to grab, others with ¼ turn valves, some with no valves, and one without low point drains, or at least I never found them…
