I have a 1977 Eleganza II, floor plan 3. ...
<<snipped>>
... The only way I can see to drain the hot water tank is an outside nylon plug behind the gas valve.

My question is: has the hot water tank drained via the main water tank? Or do I need to remove the nylon plug on the outside, if it's what was described somewhere in this thread? ...

I am fairly sure your Eleganza (GMC upfitted) left the factory with an electric water heater mounted under the counter in the bathroom. They drained through a valve on the water heater and a tube into the wheel well.

BUT.. As you say there is a gas valve, and the PO had made changes, I am thinking you have a PO added propane water heater. It should drain from the outside.
