And you fill up the fresh water tank and turn on the pump, it's amazing how much water will eventually leak out of the drain.

Ask me how I know??? Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed Laughing

I hear ya Kerry. Got mine open now. Trying to coax a grandkid over here now to open the freshwater tank valve so I can get the pink stuff out. Why in the stinking world the PO put that valve where he did I just dont know. Have to be a snake to get up under there or lift the bed. I can do neither in my current state. I am going to move that drain this year.

I put a 1/4 turn 1/2" valve right next to my tank. Lift mattress, turn.

Now I need to undo all the factory crap in my travel trailer and do all the cool mods I did to my GMC to that.

Teri raised the bed and opened the drain for me before the granddaughter got here.
Life is good.
